A butterknife would seem to be an inefficient tool to use for self-serve operations.

He was undoubtedly driven to these extremes because he had no health insurance and this is why we need state sponsored healthcare.

Step #1) Anesthesia -- about a liter of bourbon will do nicely.
Step #2) Choose your surgical implement -- ummmmmm ... this ... this butter-knife will do nicely. Hic.
Step #3) Locate the bunion that has been troubling you -- ummmm ... it's in my belly, right? Okay ... here we go.

Someone has their “remove” and “repair” verbs mixed up.... The reporter, or the Knifeman?

We call bad people who abuse guns “gunmen”....

APPARENTLY THIS GUY WAS NOT AS STUPID AS IT SEEMS. HE KNEW HE HAD TO CAUDERIZE THE WOUND:--

While waiting for paramedics, the sergeant said, the man pulled out the knife and stuffed a cigarette he was smoking into the bleeding, open wound.

"Police say a Southern California man stuck a butter knife into his belly in a failed bid at self-surgery to remove a painful hernia."

Well, you don't "remove" a hernia. There's nothing to remove.
A hernia is repaired.

Did he google WebMD?

Often an inguinal hernia can be pushed back, or reduced, into the abdomen with gentle pressure. In an adult, a hernia that can be pushed back can be surgically repaired at a convenient time. Surgery can be delayed for months.

Glendale police Sgt. Tom Lorenz says officers called to the 63-year-old man's home Sunday night found him naked on an outside patio lounge chair with a 6-inch butter knife sticking out of his stomach.

Idiot. Everyone knows you use a steak knife for home surgery.

He managed to actually make an incision with a butter knife?

Butter knives don’t even cut cold butter.
