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

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.

   3   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.

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.

He should move to calif, get on medical and have it done. But that would remove his support system. People do wierd things - I know of a woman who has a tumor on her shoulder blade that it eating away at her skin and beyond. It's unsightly and will kill her, but she doesn't have insurance. a social service agency is working on it, but it doesn't look good.

I don't know that a million dollars is a fair price, but this guy would require multiple specialists, a chunk of time in the ICU, transfusions and the like. He'd also require therapy to get him back on his feet after being bedbound for so long. It's nuts. (pun intended)

The 36-year-old Oklahoma man accidentally shot himself in the genitals, and then got arrested for it, The Weekly Vice reported. Cops met up with Colbert -- a convicted drug dealer out of Watonga -- at a hospital at about 9 a.m. Colbert allegedly told officers that he found the gun somewhere in Kansas and had plans to sell it at a convenience store. When he pulled over his truck that morning to make sure the gun worked, he found out that it did. He took a round to his groin, panicked and drove to the hospital. Colbert isn't allowed to carry a firearm because he's a convicted felon with a long rap sheet, so cops arrested him after he was treated, according to The Oklahoman. All this coming from a guy who can't stand dumb people. "Boy sum people aint shit!!!!!!!!" Colbert wrote on his Facebook wall. "They momma and daddy shouldnt of even named them shoulda just let them drop and bust they head when they were born LOL." He was charged with illegal firearm possession, KOCO reported. In 2003, he was convicted of felony drug possession with intent to distribute.
