Prince Talal bin `Abdul-`Aziz about his father

"And the doctor said: anesthesia."  `Abdul-`Aziz said: "and why?"  The physician said: "for sedation".  He said: "and after anesthesia what do you do?" The physician said: "I cut the skin with a Scalpel...and I remove the bullets and then stitch the skin."  `Abdul-`Aziz took the scalpel and cut the area of the bullet and extracted the bullets and then looked at the doctor and said: "Now you can stitch the wound."  It is indeed a rare courage that does not hit all men and a strange capability."

PS This same story was told by Iraqi Ba`thist about Saddam Husayn about his bullet wound after the failed assassination on `Abdul-Karim Qasim.
