I now have what appears to be testicular torsion and potentially need emergency surgery. But covid has made my insurance nul and void πŸ‘ŒπŸ‘ŒπŸ‘Œ

Guys due to the nature of the problem I'm obviously wanting to be VERY thorough in finding a good doctor, but I also need to find something cost effective because I'm basically flat broke.

MY QUESTION IS: Can anyone recommend a good doctor in PP? Would any of you actually suggest biting the bullet and going back to the UK for the surgery? How much is this fun procedure going to cost me?...... And who knows where I can get a decent prosthetic bollock πŸ™„πŸ™„πŸ™„

Thank you in advance for your positive and helpful advice as always (please no Hitler jokes, surgery to remove one ball is actually quite upsetting in times like this).

Regards

Happy chappy
May I recommend a name change? Well done in pre-empting the Hitler gag, is was surely coming.

May I ask, why had your insurance been invalidated due to Covid-19? Given the two conditions are unrelated, what gives them grounds to rescind your insurance contract?

As for some useful advice, I would go to a western trained doctor only. I have a very good French lady Doctor who knows just about everyone in town for referrals, her name is Dr. Julie Thongsavane and you can contact her here:

If you do decide to go back to the UK, remember Singapore Airlines ae now flying and the whole trip is now 17 hours, far better than via Seoul.
My friend the name will never change! ........(though quietly lying to myself) if you can't remain happy while getting a ball removed, things will get a whooole lot worse.

Yea, insurance companies are d***s it turns out, even losing my phone was no longer covered due to covid....... how a mobile phone is connected to the virus I do not know (unless the 4g/5g conspiracy is true)

Cheers for the heads up with the link, I'll book an appointment seeing how I'm struggling to make a f*****g phone call on my smart sim (I'M STILL A HAPPY CHAPPY, HAPPY PEOPLE SWEAR SOMETIMES!!!)

Genuinely though people, thanks for your support, being on the opposite side of the world mid COVID outbreak can make thing a little bit tricky!
