I went to the doctor in Feb and he suggested I poo in a box. Either that or be knocked out for a colonoscopy. I chose the box, fine. Took it home, did it, had a laugh with the missus, put it through the postal system, got a message back saying, probably, my ass is fine.
6 months later I get a bill for $665 specifically not from my doctor but from the poo box company.
What the ever loving fuck!
I call and bitch and they tell me they'll run it through the insurance I had at the time; they did, turns out I owe $665.
I sweat $5 on a book much less $250 on a very rare record splurge; obviously I would rather live with the possibility of having ass cancer than spend $665 to establish that I probably don't.
I bitched at my doctor, at insurance, at the company, etc, everyone points to everyone else and tells me I should pay the bill.
America: when you go to the doctor and he suggests something, pin him to the wall and yell "OKAY, FUCKER, HOW MUCH DOES IT COST AND HOW MUCH DOES MY INSURANCE COVER!?!?!"
I think I'm not going to pay it and see what happens...

America sounds utterly, utterly terrifying and inhumane with this sort of shit. $2,000 ambulance rides etc. Just sounds like there's always some arseholes angling to fuck their fellow man up financially for their own immediate personal financial gain. Fuck you buddy, I'm getting mine. Capitalism off the leash, running wild, rabid.
Get your arse back to the ever-loving cocoon of Japan's 70% healthcare coverage, squire. When Camp Leader let the alien loose via C-section, we paid 250,000 yen at the hospital. A month later we were somehow reimbursed.................. 280,000 yen. We actually made money on the birth of the sprog. Possible business opportunities there, iHomo.

can shit in a box free in australia if you're over 50. to be accurate its really plunge a short stick into your shit, then put that in a box and post it to the govt type thing. "Eligible Australians aged between 50 and 74 years of age will receive a free National Bowel Cancer Screening Program kit in the mail. When it’s detected early, 9 out of 10 cases can be treated successfully." www.health.gov.au/initiatives-and-programs/national-bowel-cancer-screening-program

The shit in the box thing that is. Negative. Still, a colonoscopy is coming in 2022. Ah, the joys of having a parent die of colon cancer. And people are worried about "doing their own research" here in the middle of nowhere. Well, don't forget to shit in a box when you take a break from watching YouTube, my beloved internet scientists. Fuck. The stick in the shit ain't a bad way of staying alive just to make life hell for some dickheads around here. Well worth it in these parts where the far right gets more votes than I thought possble.

proud to say i have posted my shit to the govt twice now. 50 and 55 negative both times. no probs.
had a colonoscopy when i was 45 i been reluctant to go again. and not for the reason you might think. i'm ok with the camera on a stick up the date thing. its that horrible watery solution you have to drink 24hrs before to 'cleanse your bowels' i don't wanna go thru again. dunno if i had an adverse reaction to it, but, not only did it make me shit thru the eye of an needle for 24hrs. it also made me crook as a fucking dog. don't wanna put anyone off doing it tho and lately i been trying to convince myself to bite the bullet and do it again...cause i saw my grand dad go thru hell with bowel cancer and really don't want that for myself or anyone else. colostomy bag neither. no thank you. there you go, i think i just convinced myself to book.

I completely conflate "Tokyo" with "Japan." As an American that lived in Tokyo for 6.5 years I think this is fair. Yes, Hokkaido, yes, Okinawa, I know, but basically your country is Tokyo. OK OSAKA, shut up. In Japan I'd walk home from Shibuya to Koenji secure in the knowledge that 1) NO ONE CARES 2) No one will bother me any which way 3) I can buy a Y200 beer on my walk. What am I doing in America. I shit in a box, as per doctor's advice, and oh we had fun, the wife and I, taking my poo box to a delivery station OH! you know what's not so funny? Getting a bill for a $650. Did your boy call the poo box company and doctor and nurse and collection agency and did I spend like 5 hours sweating this? YES. What the fuck, I'm supposed to shit in a box and mail my waste AND pay $650? Are you out of your fucking mind? What kind of crap ass joke country do I live in?
So how did this end. Well, the poo box co sends me bills regularly that I ignore.
I think, and I'm not sure, but I think my punishment is I'm no longer allowed to poo in a box and send it to the company. My credit is bad with them. But I think just with them. Who knows. Stay tuned, I will be delighted to post updates here.

Did you pay the bill? If not, do they send debt collectors around to extract their pound of flesh poo?
Got the feeling in the US that it's a constant hive of desperate unscrupulous CUNTS who are trying to grift you out of your $$. Doctors, lawyers, TV evangelists, everyone. Just a hive of swarming arseholes who want to separate you from your money, no fucks given. Right down to the restaurants where the waitress is being nice to you as a form of ritualised shakedown.
65,000 yen for a fucking poo sample? Time to re-immerse back in the loving bosom of 70% off healthcare for all, Nikkei.
Last month I went to the dentists for a cavity the size of a fucking moon crater. Just dreading the visit and the pain. I only see the head of dept at the Uni training centre. The guy is Michaelangelo with a drill bit. Trains pricks from all over the world there. A flourish here, a scrape there, an embellishment there, and you're done. Barely an inconvenience.
"Needs x-ray" he says.
Oh shit, more $$.
"Needs anaesthetic. Near the roots".
FFS. $$$.
Starts drilling and hits ouchytown. "Sore? I use more anaesthetic". Then he proceeds to inject half a river of facenumb juice into my jawbone. More drilling and filling. Then after he says "all done now but that was a very difficult case". For him, at his level of dentistry to say that, it spooked me a bit.
Anyway after all this was dreading the bill.
$22.
Felt like I'd cheated death.

Been in a bloody and bloodless hell the last 4 days. Started innocuously enough. Sunday: why does this tooth feel like it's pushing against the other ugly fuckers on either side? Maybe the ancient 45-year old steel filling is pushing them or some shit. The only relief I could get was jamming a toothpick between the silly fuckers. Monday morn: woke up to excruciating pressure from this 1 fucking tooth. No cavity in sight. WFT is going on. Toddled off to work and managed to ignore it, like a drongo . Tuesday: couldnt sleep, this cunt is becoming an issue, I cant even put my jaw on the pillow . Morning was just fuckign HELLFIRE. A toothpick jammed between the teeth aint gonna cut it. I need to go to the motherfuckign hospital RIGHT FUCKING NOW CUNTSZ. Work can suck it. Sat there in the waiting room trying not to move (MOVING: BAD. TOOTH NO LIKEY MOVEY) for 90 agonising minutes until the deadshit dentists turned up for work at 9am. X-rays, "yeah there's a cavity UNDER the filling, shithead". WFT. Is that even a thing? "Try to make an appointment with I only see the head of dept at the Uni training centre. The guy is Michaelangelo with a drill bit. Trains pricks from all over the world there. A flourish here, a scrape there, an embellishment there, and you're done. Barely an inconvenience. Fat chance. the guy is booked solid weeks in advance Today. Awoke to a new and living hell. Could not sit down, could not lie down. The ONLY relief I could get was to stand up while holding in a mouthful of water. Then spit it out and within 60 seconds the waves of agony would sweep back in, like my jaw was literally being tightened. Rinse, repeat. Literally. Did this for 3 hours, 6am to 9am. Easily the most pain I have ever had in my life. The painkillers they gave me yesterday were about as useful as tic tacs. A couple of sandbags as the Fukushima tsunami swept in. Toodled off to work expecting the worst and insanely the pain subsided during classes. Adrenalin is an amazingly powerful chemical. Incredibly, Camp Leader came to the rescue and got me in with my Doc. Champ drilled that fucking old steel filling OUT, cleaned up the shit and pulled out the nerves. Have to go back next Monday where he will "pull out the deeper nerves" or some shit. It aint gonna be no picnic but compared to this morning I dont give a fuck. Nothing can top that in the pain stakes. "Here, take these antibiotics, there's still some infected shit in the jawbone". No wonder it fucking hurt.

Amazing. A friend here had a really bad asthma attack, drove himself to hospital (no ambulance) and was in ICU for 2 days. $10,000.
Now think about this. If you're a guy that doesn't have a) insurance or b) a job that gives you insurance, do you have $10,000?
No.

Stunning. Although I have to say when I did actually go to the dentist with my current insurance they said "Nice to see you, bye" and that was that. Now, this is already a scam. I pay $X/mo and my employer pays some increased factor of that.
Still, I felt like I was getting away with something.

I was impressed with your $3 bill, but just pointing out that with decent insurance here I get a free cleaning a couple times a year.
But it's weird that I don't know what I'm getting into going in. The health/eye/dental is all separate so I'd have to go find a separate document and figure out what the dental co-pay deductible situation is. I gambled and won in this case.

Today's Root Canal Fun:
- Dentist starts jackhammering out temp filling, no anaesthetic....
- Dentist starts drilling in the exposed hole. Still no anaesthetic. There's exposed nerves in there pal WFT is going on here budd GAHHH
- half a fucking litre of anaesthetic
- removing/sterilising infected nerves in my tooth root. Weirdly, he was using his FINGERS to pull the nerves out. Little tendrils of them. I COULD SEE THEM BETWEEN HIS FINGERS. Wft. I shouldnt have looked. It took him AGES to pull the little cunts out one by one. Did he get them all? I didnt ask. It was fuckign terrifying but weirdly not as agonising as when the drill hits a nerve.
- another temp filling cap.
The Bill: 2,700 yen

I was going to have to pay 10,000 dollars (can't remember the yen amount) to have my cock surgery if it meant being in hospital in two calendar months. Next thing I know it's booked for the beginning of a month and it's 2000 dollars, which I got back plus some extra amount when some certificate of cock surgery from the hospital was presented to the uber "competent" folks at the kuyakusho. And then, unlike the countries I have lived in since, I was given all these vouchers for taxis and trains, plus 100 percent insurance coverage for hospital and medication. Me. A fucking non-Japanese citizen who actually pissed on the walls of the Royal Palace one night when Sapporo Draft was cheaper than it is now. Hirohito had already died so it lacked that real sense of "fuck you!" that I was hoping for. Back to cock surgery. And then, I get some money from some insurance policy that I got to appease my wife. A lot of money. I made money off of cock surgery. No wonder the Japanese are broke! Who invents insurance for a guy who needs cock surgery in the future?!!! My wife laughed and laughed when the money came in. Finally, I suggested that she cancel that insurance. She laughed even more then. "Hai, wakarimashita!"

My cock surgeons were so good, but it took so many years to find a dentist who was not a sadist. Jiyugaoka was the place a friend of mine found a dentist that would do antibiotic prophylaxis for people with cock problems. 10 years to find that one fucking dentist. I even asked down the street from the cock hospital, "No, go away, you fucken handicapped loser! We are busy maiming people for life." Sorry to read that you were at the dentist. I thought that is where I was going to die in Japan. Die from the agony of those motherfuckers getting off on seeing me in hideous amounts of pain when doing three root canals in a fucken day. Savage. And I was so desperate I fucken agreed. Fuck. I am Gollum when all the dental work comes off. Dentists have made a lot of money off of me. I can't say that I have remained on good terms with any of them. USA, Canada, England all pretty much the same as in slightly better than Japan, but I still think that the insane are normally first in line for dentistry spaces in universities. Who the fuck else would want to inflict pain on others all their lives so bloody gleefully?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was given all these vouchers for taxis and trains, plus 100 percent insurance coverage for hospital and medication. Me. A fucking non-Japanese citizen The j-docs were probably very proud that their opencock surgery worked on a gaijin. "It is straight forward enough operation on a pure-blooded Japanese but the subhuman strata of gaijin is unpredictable. I am not saying they are like apes but I will say the pig heart is very similar to the human heart, in particular to the heart of a gaijin. We are very proud that Japanese doctors were able to successfully operate on what can be described under Japanese medicine as basically a fairly advanced pig.
"Japanese opencock surgeons are surely among the best in the world. See, they have reanimated a half-dead pig! See it walk! See it talk! Its blood may have the purity of toilet water but look at it! It lives!"

Do we ever feel 100%? It's been fucking YEARS since I got close.
If 100% is the optimum I'm today at:
-20% for my elbow tendinitis which is a constant stabbing pain and has been for 1 whole FUCKING year now -12% for the stabbing pain in my upper back meaning I can hardly even turn my fucking head. this plagues me a few times a year -8%. shitty taste in my mouth from fuck knows what. Prolly too much coffee/not enough green shit. Or the dentist left some old scaffolding shit in there. -5%. after effects of Camp Leaders lurgy, fucking cough and snot -5% brain fog meaning I no longer see enough fun in pictures to make mental photo essays. I blame the Rona.
There you have it.
I am currently operating at 50% of capacity.
Pathetic.

I blame the Rona. There you have it. I am currently operating at 50% of capacity. Pathetic. Elbow pain and knee pain that require wearing supports every single day. Both are on the right side. Neck and back problems due to a car accident when I was ten. I have to used a blue rolling thing to relieve the pain just to be able to move my head. Got punched in the face from the blind side by a huge motherfather when I was 16 on a basketball court. I have to do jaw exercises every fucking day to ward off surgery and to be able to open my mouth. My ankles have problems due to stretched ligaments twice on each ankle. One more fuck up with the ankles and it is surgery time. Arthritis in my chest started at 13 years of age. And, no, it didn't get better. It hurts to breathe many mornings, afternoons, and nights. Just had an infection in my bloody mouth that took ten days and two antibiotics to stop me from looking like the elephant man. Can't eat anything that I used to because avoiding the reality of acid reflux for twenty years did NOT stop it from wreaking havoc on my body. The allergy to milk returned in full fucking force so I can pretty much only eat safely at home for fear of sitting on the loo somewhere until they break the door down and carry me to a hospital. The weird thing is that since the cock surgery I have to say that I have really never felt better. So I must have been operating at 2 percent before and am up to a fairly strong 5 percent now. And, yes, I am going to enjoy it as much as I can.

For me too much coffee/choc too late in the day and I'm at risk of sitting up bolt upright at 3 am so I dont choke on chunder. It'll prolly be how I die. Even googled it, somethign about "theobromine". Pretty rad name for such a cunt of an experience. It mustve been rough growing up in Victorian England. Tendinitis? Fuck calling it "tennis elbow".

Stupid cutesy name for what is a crippling pain in the arse Yes, tendonitis in the elbow. The knee thing is some deteriorating condition I don't even think about because I'll be dead before they ever schedule surgery for it. It is crippling that bloody tendonitis. I don't even want to think about it. The arthritis discovery was because of the cock problem making a bit nervous that breathing hurt so fucking much. I went to the doctor thinking that I might have to have open cock surgery at age 13, which was entirely possible according my cardiologist. My family doctor could not believe it. He asked whether I had done anything to fuck with the bones and such in my chest. I told him that they had me doing shotput at school. He rolled his eyes and told me not to get to close to him, because I had no luck whatsoever and was going to live with arthritis for the rest of my life. "Breathing is going to hurt a lot of days," said the doctor as he shook his head in disbelief. Acid reflux is the pits of the world. Sucks. Can't eat anything. I tried to ignore it in spite of vomiting every once in a while when trying to drink water, used some medicine that was quite powerful but now match for acid reflux ignored by an idiot, and all that stupid shit my family mocks me for at Christmas, Easter, and Thanksgiving. No. I eat nothing of interest or of taste now. Rice and chicken. Soy sauce? No, bad idea. Some spices on that chicken? Terrible idea. At least two days of agony. Fish and chips? A week of bog fever. Fuck this. As I am writing this, something has fucking triggered it. Does it have fucking ears as well?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

wOKE UP xMAS MORN half deaf in 1 ear ffs. Great. Just fucking great. Finally get 12 days off in a row to lie on the carpet and play the records and it's "nah cunt, dont think so, you're deaf now"."Oh, prolly just blocked with wax" I thought and trudged off to the 4-hour waiting line nightmare hospital. "Yep, quick blast with the ear syringe and I'll be back in blighty by teatime for a fix of ELECTRIC WIZARD" Not blocked. They do tests and 1 ear has "dropped 2,000 hertz", (whatever the fuck that means) They put me on an IV steroid drip for an hour alongside dozens of other cuntz in rows of reclining chair doing exactly the same. WFT is this place. Looks like a Matrix mind hive or some shit Then they give me pills. Lots of pills. I have to take 25 a day ffs. Beta will know what these are, i dont know shit. PredonineFamotidineMacobalaminAdetphos. Going from zero pills taken ever to a 25 pills a day regimen has caused:- too wired to sleep
- face is constantly hot and red
Of course, my ear went back to 100% normal the next day after Xmas. i shouldve just waited a day or two like a sensible cunt and not panicked ffs

I have lost hearing before. I had to take a bunch of drugs. Hearing came back. I have the hearing of 15-year old still. You'll be good. They love handing out the drugs in Japan. Scared the shit out of me, too. They claimed that I had "lost some hearing." Total bullshit. Back here in Canada, I found out that I have the "hearing of a 15-year old" and that the only hearing loss I have is imperceptible (5 percent in the highest frequency range) to most people on earth. Dogs, however, would notice. Sorry to read that you went through this. I went through it because I was experiencing insomnia. It fucked up my circadian rhythms. I hope that you are done those pills soon.

The pills were awesome. Metabolic steroids. After about 3 days alll my shit had cleared up and I felt amazing. Just BOOMING. They must have been some powerful shit. Even cleared up the half-pneumonic green snotcough I've been hawking up mornings for the last 2 years. Of course, that came back as soon as the med cycle ended... They love handing out the drugs in Japan. ...until they goddamn don't! The Japanese DoctorHO HO HO, after much nagging from Camp Leader I finally reneged and went to a medical check, specifically for the green snot cough I've had every fucking morning for the last 2 years. Yes, the familiar dance with that most reticent of professionals, The Japanese Doctor. Let me guess, he'll stare at his computer the entire time, give me a cursory glance and then give it the time-honoured "ah so ka, ah so ka, uhhhhh... take it easy. Next!"
After filling out a bit of chart shit and what have you, detailing my shit greensnot cough and the feeling that I'm halfway to pneumonia, that I've had for the last 2 years, there I am with the Doc. Of course, his eyes are glued to his computer. "Blah blah blah, you're fine, anything else?" "Do I need medicine for the cough I wrote down about on the chart?" "Do you want medicine?" "I DONT FUCKING KNOW, YOU FUCKING SPACKLORD, YOU'RE THE DOCTOR IN THIS CONVERSATION FSS" "I don't think you need medicine" "Oh ok bye then"Absolutely useless cunts. Now when Camp Leader has a nag about me seeing a doctor for my morning snotcough I can proudly retort "I DID BUT THE DOCTOR TOLD ME TO GET OUT".

had a full physical checkup for the first time. i turn sixty one in october so thought it was probably time. main problem i been having that made me go is the as discussed above, dreaded acid reflux. that shit has been getting more and more regular over the last couple of years until i finally had to do something about it. he asked me a bunch of questions, poked and prodded me but not in any particularly invasive way. i don't think he's a very good doctor. he said i seem to be in good shape overall but could loose a little weight. sent me off to do a few scans and tests over the last couple of days. get results early next week. don't think i have anything to worry about, but we'll see...

I'll be fine all day then the cunt will pop by to visit me at night. When I roll over in bed, oddly enough. I'm thinking its choc and/or eating too fast in the evening.
