I LIVED - Health Update and Q&A

I've been recovering from my kidney transplant surgery for the past month or so, so I figured I would do a quick Q&A to give you guys an update. And to celebrate passing 450k subs. The M4A1 76 and Strv m/42 DT War Thunder gameplay in the background isn't the best, but I'm getting my groove back.

is there a kid in your ney? im sorry pls play sturer emil

[@brandonrashall9157]

Hey, spook, if you want to hit that cav museum, I am active duty, and I can bring yall on with my ID. If not, you can go to the main gate and get a visitors pass. Just make sure you don't have tickets or outstanding warrants. I believe if you catch the harmony gate between 9am and 3 or 4 pm, you can get pass there as well, and you will be right at the museum. Bare in mind that it is a commercial gate, so it stays relatively busy in the morning hours. And make sure you take the ramp, NOT the exit before it because that gate is out of play closed whatever have you. If you stay in columbus for the night anything past exit 8 and up is safe. Decent hotel behind a five guys on exit 10. Questions or anything related, please reach out. i will gladly answer em.

The stockpile of videos you created pre-op is genuinely amazing. That is an outstanding dedication to creating content that is genuinely rare. I remember watching the video you first announced that you were going to start stockpiling - recently I actually FORGOT that we were still in the pre-recorded era. EDIT: Also on-base museums usually have a documented procedure on how to get on base as a civilian to go to visit. Barring that, having a active/retired friend who can drive you in and sponsor you (if there is a full ID check) is even easier. Have brought many groups on to my local afb to visit its pacific war aircraft museum

Can confirm that a museum being on an active military base won't really add any difficulty for you as long as you have a valid ID, I've been to the naval air museum in Pensacola that is on an active Naval Air Station, and all you have to do is show an ID to get onto the base and you're good to go.

[@imnomoremaverick]

Ehhh sort of,Fort Moore is kind of different. They open to the public 4 times a year and you just need an ID to get permission,either by filling an online form on their page or at the gate entrance the day you want to visit. DoD personnel,no matter if they're active or retired, don't need to do that and just need an ID,and can escort some non-DoD people as well (with limitations,of course) Non-US Citizen just need to go there in person,they can't apply online

[@AttacMage]

Never had issues with Hill AFB, but It's been a long time and it's likely less strict. They're pretty open to the public in general.

[@0408hunter]

The wonderful thing about Ft. Moore/ Benning is the fact it is a training instillation, every week the instillation deals with tons of graduations that involve civilians gaining access to the post. It is super simple to get on, all you need is a valid ID and not to have any warrants for your arrest active or have any felonies. I was a Drill Sergeant on Ft. Benning, had to instruct the trainees how to have their families gain access. @Spookston, I live outside of Ft. Moore/ Benning, let me know if you need any assistance when and if you end up making it out here. There is also the National Infantry Museum here as well, it is worth the trip if you are in the area. The Armor and Cav collection also sets up live fires in late summer for a warfighter expo that civilians can go watch, last years was canceled, but the year prior they had everything out there shooting; Abrams, Brads, Strykers, Apaches, drones, and mortars.

​@marcusborderlands6177 it's bad here in the U.S. this is why we need public and social health care not private

[@MommyKhaos]

​@@andrewreynolds912yeah here in Colorado one of our biggest hospital networks has been catching heat from the public and the state due to being immensely sue happy and by ignoring hidden fees laws. It's insane that we just allow this shit. And shit, insurance companies playing Doctor like a little kid gets real annoying, real quickly. I had insurance at one point that refused to cover the single ADHD medication that myself and my doctor knew worked until I had literally tried EVERY SINGLE OTHER ADHD MEDICATION IN EXISTENCE! It was fucking 30 of them! Turns out I'm allergic to two of them! After 1.5 years of trying different meds I tried to get them to cover the ones that actually work and they said that due to it being so long since I tried the first couple, I needed to go on them again "just to be sure." No idea what my doctor did (all he said after that was "I'm going to contact legal and let them deal with this") but that insurance ended up calling me about a week later saying that they'd cover 50 percent of the medication that worked.

[@alexmcmillan9595]

@@marcusborderlands6177 to my understanding that 130K isn't "real" basically either your insurance will pay it or if you cant pay it a largeeee portion (like maybe 110k) will be written off as a loss on the hospitals taxes. the surgery "costs" that much only so the hospital can write it off as a loss and pay less in taxes (losses count against how much tax you owe) and the person never pays anywhere close to these ridiculous numbers you hear. its def still money $2000 can even be alot, but no one in the country is paying 130k for anything out of pocket.

[@diobrando2575]

@@andrewreynolds912 No it really isn't so long as you don't blindly pay any bill handed to you, and do what insurance companies do and negotiate. Oh, and considering how places like Canada have been pushing MAID to get around the high costs of funding a healthcare system, and many countries with it are only able to do so because the US pays the absolute lion's share in defense budget, we really shouldn't push it all onto taxpayers, especially when it'd mean longer wait times as we see in the NHS.

About the bottle question, there are physics about how the contents of a aluminium can compared to glass bottles. Glass is the only inert material that we use to contain our drinks, this means that drinks coming from an aluminium can will taste different from ones from glass bottles. The reason we use aluminium cans instead of glass ones most of the time is that they are a lot cheaper to transport and produce

Good thing is you have two kidneys and you only need one

[@enfield_the_enigmatic2989]

I'm happy that it sounds like the finances of the whole ordeal are manageable. I was really worried this was going to put you in a lot of debt. And of course, I'm very glad the surgery went well. Frankly, I was quite upset when this whole thing started because you have always been one of my favorite channels. I hopped on the train back when you posted the "everything wrong with Halo's scorpion tank" video and have been consistently entertained ever since. And I don't know how you'll take this, but your channel was a big help in making me feel better about being a furry. I used to have a lot of self-hatred about the whole thing, but just seeing your profile picture and the occasional art for thumbnails connected to "regular" stuff I've always been a fan of helped me normalize the whole thing in my head. I know you're not really a furry quote-on-quote (atleast I think that's what you said), but your channel helped me a lot nonetheless. Here's to more happy years of cool tank stuff! I'm excited to see more historical and analytical videos :)

Happy you are still living. I just had my appendix removed a few weeks ago. The pain was excruciating before the mountain of painkillers and staying in a hospital overnight for a couple days was kinda uncomfortable. I can't even begin to imagine the discomfort amd pain you constantly go through.

[@noobslayer8240]

Happy too see you healthy, and thank you for helping me learn the game find weakspots and many other things. Maybe you could try the french Lorraine 37L funny TD

[@Johnnyboy000]

I'm expecting 50 kill games now. Minimum. NO EXCUSES😂 Edit: Before someone overreacts, of course I'm happy he's doing good. Humor helped me through a lot in my life.
