00:11oh god no i don't even want to see this the world's largest kidney stone
00:18was just removed from a patient in sri lanka
00:22it's insane okay i want to just google what the average size of a kidney stone is first i think

00:38stones all the time size of a chickpea i mean yeah chickpea is gonna cause yeah i don't want
00:44a chickpea through my pee hole um yeah but see look even that it's like that small as grain of
00:49sand or as large as a golf ball i don't want a golf ball how big do you think this is related to
00:56this is the world's largest ever i want to say like it's the size of a baseball yeah i was my
01:03my brain went softball just for the absurdity of it but in all reality probably baseball tennis ball
01:10a bit bigger oh no bowling ball the size of a large grapefruit it's as long as a banana
01:20and as heavy as four hamsters it's as long as a banana four hamsters you know how many times i've
01:27lifted four hamsters never annoyed there it is no no no how does he have any kidney yeah what's that do to
01:34you five and a half inches long weighing 1.76 pounds it broke two world records when it was removed
01:42by sri lankan doctors what are they like what it's calcium is it calcium deposit solid pieces of
01:50material that crystallize in the kidney uterus or bladder due to genetic and environmental factors
01:5610 of people are affected at some point in their lives oh that's not as bad as i thought
02:03no 10 there's a 90 chance i won't get one it could kill you too yeah good that that listen no
02:09if that's inside you i mean you it's very likely that you were kidneys and close to gone drink your
02:17water folks yeah stay hydrated and reduce your sodium intake are the two best things you can do
02:22to prevent kidney stones two to three quarts of water a day they say is the best that'll help
02:31flush things out before it can even build up that'll make me want to walk around with an iv fluid all

03:05it does it's terrible to me it is it just take a bite yeah caramel it's awful so gross right
03:15so horrible i can't even imagine the process uh to get them removed notoriously painful
03:21stones above three millimeters in diameter require treatments such as surgery to remove them
03:27such treatments include using sound waves to break the stones or surgery through a small incision in
03:33the lower back i knew they'd dunk you in a tank and shoot sound waves at you very cool breaks them up
03:40yeah it's crazy i was on vacation once with one of the toughest guys i'd ever met
03:45and we sat down to dinner and the dude doubled over and by the end of the meal was in tears
03:55that and it hit like a just like out of nowhere just hit like a brick right and we were in mexico
04:01oh it's a bad place to be when they're like we're going to hit you with the sound waves and then they
04:07just turned up like that music louder get the band closer to him bring the bring the mariachi
04:13get the band closer to him we need the trumpet player we're going to use the sound waves to help
04:19quickly we can do this quick louder get in the pool get quick in the shallow end
04:27in the kitty pool lay down sing louder yes let the sound waves do their thing
04:34you feel better are you feeling better does not look like he feels better at all i don't think
04:41it's not working how about this there we go go pee oh no it hurts
04:49bad times no it's medically a little different oh god someone get him some tequila
04:58that i drink a lot can i tell you though i'd hate to be on vacation and and that happens a couple
05:07days in and it's just oh we didn't see the dude for like three days after that yeah and like it's
05:14not how you expected to spend your vacation they gave him some he didn't want to get surgery there
05:21right oh i understand that and they gave him some mexican medication it's called a harrowing no yeah
05:28it literally knocked him out for days yeah well she had to fly back with that oh i think so
05:33well yeah i mean you do it's more like he looked like death on the flight back i felt so bad for the
05:40guy but that's that sparked and this was like 20 years ago sparked my fear i just know like my dad
05:46has told me like several things throughout life where like i'm like okay he really means that he
05:51told me to always get my oil changed on time yep and he told me that kidney stones were the like
