Why on earth is this a million dollar surgery? Do they charge by the pound or something?
Many people have their entire testicles removed due to cancer, and the cost is a tiny fraction of this.

Maybe ACDC could come back on their ballbreaker tour to help this guy out. 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!

I don't get
1. How some product can be called "health insurance" if it doesn't cover rare stuff like this. 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.

Little puzzled why he waited until his situation got to the 100 pound level before doing something about it.
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 has Medicaid - but the surgery for some reason would be best done by a calif md. 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.

Why did the Hospital bill the Chicken that crossed the road and got struck by a car a million dollars?
Because they CAN!

I know that it sounds outrageous, but there are many complications involved with a surgery this size. 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)

Funny, that's what my ex said. Maybe this guy ought to call me and I can do the surgery for him.

You have an X? Hard to believe.
I know! I'm so sweet. I'm shocked by it as well - as surprised as I am that some anonymous guy on the interwebs who asserts his opinions obviously thinks that my having an ex-husband is reflective of me as a person. In a society where divorce is commonplace, it means nothing.
But go ahead, try to make some snide remark. Oops - you already did.
Fail

Tavares Colbert Shot Himself In Genitals, Got Arrested, Oklahoma Cops Say
Saturday was a bad day for Tavares Donnell Colbert. 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.

Watching all these You Tube videos, I am feeling at imminent risk.
After the operation, the OP guy will be able to use his scrotal sack as a hoodie!

Will this thread never die?
Probably not. Seems that people go nuts when it comes to watching guys get hit in the balls.

That sums up everything wrong with American culture. The sheer stupidity of it all.

Yes, you're right on that one. However, being able to laugh at stupid stuff is protected in the Bill of Rights. Not everyone can appreciate intellectual humor.

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