The fact that a doctor, who went to school for nearly a decade, can recommend you get a test done.... then insurance can just say nope.... has always seemed insane to me.

Former medical clerk here. Insurance will do anything to not pay for procedures. My office would generally have to call the insurance companies around 3 times on average to get approval and even then its not a guarantee to get coverage. We are constantly told that insurance is approved only to get a denial moments later.

pissing off a mad scientist with incredible lasers and massive T-levels was a bold move, Insurance companies

Bro just casually told us how fraud is happening at his insurance place .

You have been a continued source of inspiration for many a tinkerer, laserer, blower-up and builder of things, including me. Get fixed soon, and looking forward to seeing more of your stuff when you make it past this tough patch.

Hey man! I was diagnosed with a rare liver disease (primary sclerosing cholangitis) back in 1992. Ended up getting a liver transplant and am doing well 32 years later. Hope the doctors figure out what you've got going on soon, and are able to treat it.

MD here. Make sure they do a scrotal ultrasound/ exam ! One of most common cause in your age group can be germ cell tumors in testicles that can be easily ruled out.

Wow that's crazy, im basically in the same boat as you. 27 year old male with little facial hair, high testosterone levels and high SHBG, and bio markers for liver disease. Unfortunately i can't afford to do anything about it because healthcare in this country is so horrendous...

Also another funny similarity, i recently became very interested in tornados and that's how i stumbled across your tornado chasing videos and ended up here. We have arrived at similar evolutions it seems 😂

For your insurance, for future reference, you can ask for a list of all individuals who had a say in denying your claims. 99% of the time they will change their decision BECAUSE most insurance companies have people who are NOT medical professionals looking for key words in your claim to accept or decline it, which is a MAJOR HIPPA violation.

I'm so sorry you have to deal with all that insurance nonsense! Aside from that, I hope you can get to the bottom of your current condition and that you have a speedy recovery!

His body is peak male performance, this is what testosterone leads to, not muscles but insane fascination with physics and explosions

Paying thousands for health insurance just so you have the priviledge of paying more for a treatment is next level scam. It's like paying someone to rob you. 0 people should pay for health insurance for a good 10 years just so all the insurance corporations can go bankrupt and start fresh from there. I hope you solve this and get better, your videos are my favorite!

Praying for you, bud. I know how difficult it can be to open up to the world as you did. Bless you for telling this heartbreaking story. Heartbreaking because I have followed you for a while and feel like you are one of my friends. Stay the course my friend. I hope that you find answers and that the truth exposes itself to you in an undeniable way.
God Bless you brother

[DjMistaV]

You owe us nothing buddy. Hope everything works out for you, much love from Finland!

6:32 - It seems quite common, it's much more messed up than you think, the insurance companies and the hospitals play this game where they send out a quote for more than double the price, the insurance company will refuse to pay, then the hospital and the insurance company will negotiate a lower price, then the hospital will write it off as a loss on their tax, even though it's not a loss.

It's a scam.
