Did anyone see the show about this guy on channel 7 last night?
His health was restored by removing 132lb of 'material' from his scrotum. You can google from there a remarkable, grisly story about some poor bloke who rolled over on his knackers in the middle of the night. |

My pommy workmate was telling me about this yesterday.. He described them as 10 stone bollocks.. He was truly intrigued how he could move around with them..

He could only just move around but if he went out of the house he wore a hoody with his legs through the arms and the hood etc keeping him decent.

Far out what an ordeal to live with. It's not just the physical pain of carrying 50kg of dead weight with that part of your body, its the mental grief also from feeling like (and being treated like) you're a freak.

How or why he didn't move on it sooner is bizarre, but then again I think the US medical system is truly "user pays" and if you can't afford it I guess you're stuck with it...?

Thank goodness for our 'socialist' health car system. The poor bastard (US citizen) had to raise the funds to pay for the operation! No medicare or social health system came to his aide until a doctor volunteered to do it for free after media interest.

Oh, that will all be fixed next year. The US will be a medical wonderland.
