This is what happens when you cannot afford Health Care.

~~~~~~

An unemployed Bosnian performed kidney stone surgery on himself because he did not have any money to pay medical bills.

Emir Javoras, 29, from Javor, used a razor blade and needle to remove the stones, news agency Fena reported.

Javoras said: "I woke up in the middle of the night in terrible pain, but I couldn't ask doctors to do anything about it because I am poor, have no money and no health insurance. I noticed my genitals had swollen and the pain was enormous.

"The stones had passed out of my kidney and had got stuck in my urinary tract. I cut the skin under my testicles and with the help of a sterilized needle I managed to dig out three stones."

But this is the end of the report...

Doctors said they were shocked someone had performed such an operation by themselves.

They cleaned and restitched the man's wound for free.

The lengths you have to go to to get free treatment :wah:

Ouch!!! that had to hurt..!@!!

I agree with JACK SPRAT..!! Everyone I know that has had Kidney Stones, or Gullbladder Stones have nearly passed out from the pain..!!

My next thought is how did he stop the bleeding??? Was the incision so small that he didn't bleed..?? OK I KNOW I ASK TO MANY QUESTIONS..!! :-3

I am very very wussy...
