"I Was Begging to Die," Tablo Denied Emergency Care in London ER… What Happened?

Epik High's Tablo revealed the twists and turns he endured before receiving emergency treatment for kidney stones in London.

On the 28th, a video titled "I Almost Died While Visiting Spider-Man in London" was released on the YouTube channel 'TABLO'.

In the video, Tablo said, "I almost died in London," explaining that symptoms of kidney stones began while he was on the plane. He described the pain as feeling like a meteor passing through an extremely narrow straw.

He tried to stick to his schedule, but his condition worsened so severely that he had to use the restroom about 60 times a day, eventually leading him to seek medical care. However, since it was the weekend, few hospitals were available for emergency treatment, and at the first emergency clinic where he had made an appointment, the doctor had already left work, so he could not receive treatment.

Tablo managed to receive treatment after walking for about 10 minutes to another emergency clinic. He recalled, "Those 10 minutes felt like 40 days spent in a desert. I was at the threshold of death."

He continued, "The next day, I had interviews with Tom Holland, Zendaya, and Jacob Batalon, so I felt immense guilt and fear that my condition might ruin the schedule."

After many difficulties, he finally saw a urologist who diagnosed him as not having an infection and prescribed medication. However, the process of obtaining the prescription was not smooth. The hospital said it would send the prescription via email, but what actually arrived was a link to pay additional medical fees. Only after paying all the costs could he receive the prescription.

However, at the pharmacy, they refused to dispense medication with only an electronic prescription and demanded a paper copy. Communication between the hospital and the pharmacy also caused delays. To make matters worse, the first pharmacy did not have the required medication, forcing him to go to another pharmacy. He could finally receive the medicine only after the hospital sent the prescription via fax.

Tablo recalled, "Even though it was an emergency situation, nothing was handled urgently. I went through this for five hours. I wondered if things could get any worse."

Meanwhile, kidney stones are a condition where stones form in the kidneys, ureters, bladder, or other parts of the urinary tract, often accompanied by severe flank pain, frequent urination, and a sensation of incomplete emptying.
