No Medical Coverage - An Xtreme Sport!

In this video a Man with no medical insurance coverage, and no money, for a medical procedure is forced to perform fluid removal from his own elbow using automotive brake-bleeding tools. There must be hundreds of thousands of Americans who are forced to resort to actions similar to this.

I read a story that some major medical doctor corporation,Torrance-based HealthCare Partners Medical Group, has announcing that it will begin offering a menu of services with a price list. So consumers can compare. I suspect that that announcement may have something to do with Moore's movie "Sicko" coming out. Let the games of Health Care improvement begin (smile)

i looked up bursitis and just so other people dont have to i will post it.

Bursitis is the inflammation of one or more bursae, or small sacs of synovial fluid, in the body.

Thanks for posting the info. It seems to me that that sucked out the synovial fluid from his elbow probably saved himself a couple hundred dollars or more, doing it himself, even though this procedure probably should be only 20-30 per time.

Good question! Maybe it elbow grease? (bursa fluid - google bursitis)

It's called OLECRANON BURSITIS. People who lean on their elbows a lot, on hard surfaces, get this inflammation Popeye Elbow. It will persist if not drained or removed. He did as good or better job as any doctor would have.

@MixeTube pm your name, age, income, medical needs, and zip code. I will see what I can do.

@theatwo

Help me find one.

OMG....sorry that you have to do this to yourself....I hope you sterilized everything good because an infection would suck on top of that. I have a friend with type one diabetes and the insulin + supplies would cost her about $1000 dollars a month without medical insurance.

Why would you do that? No medical coverage huh? Find one of the numerous free christian health clinics in America and go there. No medical coverage self care is not an extreme sport it is insane.

Any of you folks need help please shoot me a email. I will help you find a clinic.

By the way, awesome resourcefulness Sir
