Man with the 10st.wotsits

I wouldn't have believed this if I hadn't just seen it myself.

Anyone see the programme on Ch.4 tonight about the American man with the 10 stone testicles?!!!!!

How could any medical person (or the man himself even) ever let something get that bad before something was done?

What I found even more difficult to understand, was the man himself when he asked if he could have all the removed tissue back to sell on EBay, in order to pay for his operation!!

What a thing to think of, and even worse, who would ever want to buy it??

Op eventually all done and he is finally back to normal.
First time he has been able to drive a car for 5 years.
He is a happy man again.

Yes. He could hardly walk, or do a wee even.
Impossible to imagine until I saw the programme.

I just can't imagine how his condition was ever allowed to develop to that stage before something was done.

I have just watched this, poor man .
He died five months after of multiple heart attacks .
Not related to his surgery .
So short a time after such suffering .

He had no health insurance and was onl y covered by public health in the state of Nevada where no surgeon would touch him . They didn’t have the expertise .
The surgeon who did the operation did it for free.

Good grief, I didn't know he had died Muddy.
Gosh, that's sad so soon after he was given a new lease of life.

Then the previous surgeons ought to be ashamed of themselves.
