Embarrassing Illnesses

[Kentish]

Is anyone watching this Ch4 series?

People won't go to their GP because of an embarrassing problem but they are happy to go on national TV and literally expose it.

I was pretty shocked to see my old careers advisor on the show I can tell you!

His complaint was that his damaged penis was ruining his sex life and yes he did get it out for the cameras

Bit like the Essex virgin bloke who had no confidence with girls, but had a TV crew film him popping his cherry in 'dam.

I've seen this before and asked myself the same question.

I can only assume they are being paid to do it or getting some other perk to counteract the embarrassment?

Thing is though, by seeing one's Doctor early you tend to get stuff cleared up early and cost the taxpayer less before x region of body goes purple, bloated, smelly and needs to be cut off at huge expense.

Spaghetti hoops?

the patients dont get paid anything and are made to sign lots of documents about releasing their info to the public.

When they goto external clinics etc... its usually just one guy with a camera who has to do everything, and also make sure the patients and staff sign plenty of documentation.

It bewilders me why people would do it on national TV lol

Is "Spaghetti hoops" a euphemism?

I've led a sheltered life

If not, it was pasta stir fried with chicken, veg and sweet chilli
