This guy has scrotal lymphodema, and is hoping to raise 1 million for surgery. Wow.

I think it takes a lot of balls to ask for a million dollars. This guy's got a huge sack asking for that much money. He must be going balls to the wallsraising funds right now. I am not being teste about the amount, but come on. This guy might just be a really big NUT!

Insurance is suppose to cover catastrophic but unlikely events. That's it's whole purpose. 2. How it could cost $1 million for any procedure. Where's the breakdown of the bill? I wonder if the guy would be better off traveling to India for medical treatment. Just don't fly Spirit Airlines, they'll have a fee for his balls.

I got the impression that he was doing something about it. He went to different doctors and they all ran tests and couldn't figure out what was going on. In the meantime, the fluid kept building up.

Obviously he wasn't born with this condition. Maybe when he had trouble pulling up his pants he would have thought, maybe today is a good day to see a doctor about this. I wager if he saw a doctor when he hit the 1 pound mark, the operation wouldn't anywhere near as expensive. Sometimes people create there own problems by ignoring them.

    17   12:54pm Wed 4 Jan 2012   Share   Quote   Permalink   Like   Dislike (1)   I would think doctors/hospitals take care of this kind of thing for free when the funds aren't there, partly out of compassion, but also for the learning/teaching experience. Maybe the risk is too high or there are other weird factors. Or maybe he just didn't get referred to the right teaching hospital, or was too ignorant to realize that he needed to just get it out there. Obviously, after being published in HP, not only will some rich people volunteer to pay for it, some local hospital will also volunteer. What is it, somebody has to pay for the malpractice insurance ? No, surely some kind of waiver is possible.
