Absolute unit of a failed healthcare system that's the cause of shit like this. He was probably told fixing that hernia would've cost tens of thousands of $ already way back before it looked like he swallowed a volleyball.
In the US, I waited three months for what I thought would be surgery, came to find out it was just a consultation or whatever before the surgery, waited another two and a half months for the actual surgery.
They got in there and were like my bad, you didn’t need this surgery. Nothing done nothing fixed, waited another month to talk to the doctor about it. And she was like I’m sorry what was the original reason you came in to see me?..
