Built My Own X-Ray After a Hospital Charged Me $69,210.32

One thing I'll say, at least Anericans don't have their media content as filtered as Germany does.

@@oddmothfriend9790 Well it's the welfare state specifically. Capitalism as a market is actually pretty nice, but when it comes to the welfare state/social policies(healthcare, food stamps, etc) it kinda sucks. Which is why countries like Germany and Norway have a Capitalist market with a broadened welfare state more akin to what is typically seen under socialism.

They wouldn't take your xray, and insist on using 'their own' because its 'more reliable'. I've done a lot of self diagnosing using what I could either making, or getting at home testing for various things. I needed the docs prescription pad to get me the necessary meds, but always have had to pay for their stupid testing despite already knowing whats wrong. I know their just doing their job, but I did 95% of the work for them BECAUSE I couldn't afford the diagnosis process, I legit just needed the ending medication treatment

This is inherently what they should expect: it follows the 'right to repair' and other DIY ethos. The era of 'you need to go to the Dr. to find this out' is coming to an end as tech has advanced so much that a LOT of clin lab testing and analysis (which is the backbone of diagnostic/confirmation testing) can be made or purchased cheap. The internet contains ALL the information you'd need to know from IDing if you have salmonella vs shigella infection to how to remove an appendix (if you're really on a budget). Couple this with the fact that eventually medicine will become entirely accessible w/o prescription and suddenly a Dr is somebody you go to when you don't want to do the testing yourself or as a matter of convenience/second opinion.

That's hilarious. Honestly something that i would have considered if I were in your shoes

knowing those sorts of places I'm surprised the vet was not also the towns primary care physician/postman

Vets are extremely skilled at a lot of things. They have to wear so many hats at work because they can't send you to a specialist. They act as the dentist, the oncologist, the radiologist, the surgeon, and many more. Unfortunately, it's illegal for them to practice medicine on humans (unless it's an emergency).

This is one of those, “it never happened incidents.” Even though no name or location was given, this is how people get caught. Everyone in town probably knows about the vet, but everyone thinks they are the only one. Thats how hush hush that shit is.

Could he die from this?

@@yonnieflores-najera3226 you can die from anything since anything has a potentially lethal dose.

@@yonnieflores-najera3226 yes. That power supply has far more than enough in it to stop your heart.

After certain amount of amps. It's actually more likely to survive than at lower amp.

How do you know someone is not American? They’ll point it out, kind of like a vegan

then become a doctor and assist yourself

Must work differently in the US to the UK. I had AF a few years back and bought a home ECG monitor. I captured multiple AF episodes over the course of a few weeks whilst I was waiting for an appointment with a cardiologist. I handed the printouts to the cardiologist on our first meeting. He looked over them, immediately confirmed the severity of the AF I was experiencing and booked me in for a cryoablation operation. It shaved weeks off my wait time as I didn't need to be fitted with a heart monitor and gather data - because I had already done that part myself.

I want will to present his x-rays to a doctor

Alabama's gonna need all the help it can get. Too soon?

They should see if they can get approved :D

"Don't worry if you dislike our short criminally insane doctor, you can always choose to be examined by our taller criminally insane doctor instead!"

thankfully, due to inverse square law, any kind of dose his neighbours got would be far far lower than what he got. and what he got would still have been absolutely tiny. the radiation isn't actually the real issue with his design, the real risk is electrocution.

If you earn over the threshold for the year of $90000 AND you don't pay for your own private healthcare insurance, $1462 will not be returned to you in your yearly tax return. If you earn less than $90k, Medicare is mostly free. Personally I pay the levy, as the care I get is still outstanding. (And due to a condition, I'm getting my moneys worth!)

@@ephjaymusic oh lord his one is scary

Why was it arcing? Who knows, it was bought off ebay and taken apart by a bootleg garage engineer.

Yes the oil would slow down the electrons by colliding with the oil, causing them to aquire a negative charge. Without the oil the electrons are free travel in every direction. The stand of metal cans where just conducting the postive charged xray electrons.

I hope it's from a newer x-ray or that PCBs were never used in dental x-rays.

@@ZeroSpawn Close. Electrons can never have a positive charge. They are always negatively charged by one electron-Volt. The rest of what you said almost makes sense as a metaphor for what is happening using the mechanics of momentum. But the actual difference between air and oil in this application is the breakdown voltage. In dry air, the field strength for breakdown is only about 3 kV/mm, whereas in oil-cooled and oil-insulated transformers, it is about 20 kV/mm.

@@ZeroSpawn I just noticed that you called them “positive charged xray electrons”. Actually, the arcing has almost nothing to do with the X-ray tube. Instead, it is due to the very high voltage from the high voltage power supply. The X-ray tube has two parts as William mentioned. The filament that emits electrons (basically a light bulb) (also known as the cathode), and a target (anode) that is set to a very high voltage relative to the filament with a high voltage supply. The strong positive charge of the anode causes the electrons emitted by the cathode to speed over to it and crash into it, generating X-rays on impact. X-rays themselves are not electrons, but rather a form of electromagnetic radiation, like daylight or radio waves or microwaves.

Not possible, the beans work well because they are reinforced legumes, so hospitals are just adding a bunch of mumbo jumbo to the machines to make it seem fancier which lets them charge more money

Chances are the x-rays just wouldn't be particularly useful, as modern x-rays have very detailed specs on power output, duration, post processing, etc, that this thing could never hit. Like, you could probably diagnose a clean break with this, but modern x-rays at the right settings can tell you so much more
