    I’m currently pissing blood on the regular and I have free healthcare, so I think this is more of a “dumb dude” thing than an “American with an overdraft” thing.

    I will go to the doc eventually, but I need more. I can’t be turning up there with one thing to report. I need stabbing pains, memory loss, night terrors and maybe some jaundice before I pick up the phone.

    I know I can’t die early, because I’m not getting off that easy. So I’m safe for the time being 👍🙃

      Holy fuck just go to the doctor so at least they can do simple blood work and make sure it’s nothing obvious. I pissed blood once, turns out along with the leg pain my kidneys were about to shut down. Go to the fucking doctor

      Painless gross haematuria is one of the most common first signs of bladder cancer. A very treatable cancer for most people. Peeing blood for no reason can be bad. It can also be beats.

      Can confirm, dude is indeed dumb ;-)

      If symptoms linked to kidney failure isn’t enough to send you to the doctor…
