Dutch courage and a make-do medico save Perth surfer
By BRADEN QUARTERMAINE

A SCARBOROUGH father was saved by another WA man after his holiday in paradise turned into hell on earth.

Jude Gonzalez, 35, was in agony with part of his scalp hanging from his head after a gruesome surfing accident in Indonesia's isolated Mentawai Islands a legendary wave mecca.

But "guardian angel" Tom Plummer inserted 27 stitches in Mr Gonzalez's scalp to hold it together, despite having no medical experience.

The procedure was described by a Perth doctor as the most remarkable she had seen by a novice.

Mr Plummer, who runs a surf shop on the islands, and is originally from Fremantle, downed most of a carton of Bintang beer before plucking up the courage to undertake the operation on a boat

I've long held that there isn't any alcohol in Bintang' in Indonesia". God knows I've drunk enough of it.

Bintang certainly makes you feel like something's hit the back of your head if you have too many of them.

I think he felt it at the front of his head, and he didn't even drink it
