My mother wanted to share this story with you: One day, she was in our local supermarket and happened to see something that had been out of stock for awhile that she quite liked. In her excitement she cried "Oh, cheeki breeki!" From the next aisle over, a random male voice replied with equal enthusiasm "Yeah, Boris!" A very short story, but I hope you know that your videos are loved even as far away as Texas. Keep up the fine work and you too stay cheeki breeki. And hey, if someday you come down this way, I know just where to take you for good Tex-Mex food. Do not worry, is not too spicy, more savory stick to your soul and ribs sort of Mexican food.
now i can't unimagine your mother without her wearing a balaclava and wielding a sawn off shotty with cossacks vodka bottle as makeshift silencer, cooking cans of zavtrak turista for your fam
For YEARS my wife and I still brought up occasionally 'what do you think Boris was sick from?'. A mystery has been solved. So glad you're not a dead Boris, living Boris much better.
I had the same virus he’s talking about most likely norovirus and I vomited so hard I broke my ribs and tore my esophagus for context moral of the story is don’t ignore your body if you’re eating something and you feel off don’t just assume you’re hungry and shovel it down
My dad's appendicitis story was shockingly similar-- thought he just ate something a little off, until it got to a point where mom drove him to the ER-- he was very close to it literally bursting but the reaction on his part was just "huh, alright."
I think the non-eating thing is for all surgery with general anaesthetic. Apparently it's not that uncommon to vomit while knocked out and it can cause complications (i.e. choking and death) if your stomach is full.

To be honest, while I was in the military I was stationed in Germany and doing a job (TDY) in Romania. I had to have an emergency appendectomy in a hospital that was possibly WW1 built. But damned if it wasn’t the best medical experience I’ve ever had. Doctors and nurses were so so nice, everyone had lots of experience and everything was clean. Even if we could only sorta talk to each other. And the nurses brought me cigarettes to smoke!
My kidney stones were relatable. The IV was like the hand of god taking the pain away. When I arrived I was puking my guts out, shaking, couldn't even say my name and curled into the floor in fetal position, face to the floor. After the IV, waiting for the knife time I was smoking outside like nothing had happened.
I got hysterectomy surgery this week. All abdominal surgeries need a looong rest and you can not talk, laugh or even giggle. From a fellow person that also deals with humor the most dark moments of life, I embrace you. You are a light for a lot of people. Glad you made it ok. And long live morphine!!!
I figured it was appendicitis back then, but the Boris-narrative of this makes it better. Without appendicitis, we would have never had smol Boris cartoons.
Boris omg! You are one of the rare people who enjoy that level of hospital treatment just like me haha. The way you say "I should do this more often" is just 10/10 me. Have also had 2-3 real bad situation hospital visits in my life and I told my friends the story with the exact same tone. "Guys it was so f--king cool! I was THE KING, everything was done for me I did not even have to lift a bloody finger!" But also glad you got it removed and all is well
I completely agree, I had the same experience when I had surgery a few years back. But it's also very sad... People remembering hospital stays and surgeries fondly, because it was the one time in their lives someone actually cared about them :( Being emotionally and personally so deprived/neglected for most of our lives that being cared for in a hospital (even in life threatening circumstances) actually feels like heaven. I spent two weeks in the hospital with a huge abscess on my thigh, and I completely forgot about the fact I almost died on the operating table and that I almost lost my leg (yea it was THAT bad apparently) because other than that, it was AWESOME! No joke, I felt like friggin royalty! Post-op drugs I got the good shit, so for the first time in I dunno how many years I finally wasn't in pain! I actually felt embarrassed when the nurse would take my temperature, ask how I was feeling, bring me food and drink, help me change or fetch me a wheelchair, it was too much! Even though I knew it was their job to make sure I wasn't in pain and recovering normally, it still felt incredible someone actually asking how I felt. I was actually sad and embarrassed because I never really had anyone, I always took care of myself, so I hate feeling like a burden. This was actually my first time in a hospital, I had no idea how to "be in a hospital". Right after surgery, just like Boris, I only slept a few hours. I woke up and it was in the middle of the night. I looked around and it was dark, everyone else in the ward was sleeping. But I had to pee real bad. I thought, I gotta go pee. I had huge bandages on my legs and the anesthesia was still wearing off so I was dizzy too, but thanks to the meds I didn't actually feel any pain. With great effort I somehow clambered out of bed and sort of shuffled over to the toilet, which was right next to the ward (thankfully), and I started peeing when the nurse showed up and started yelling at me "What the HELL do you think you're doing?!", and I was there with this deer-in-headlights stare "uh...I had to pee". And she facepalmed so hard, then looked at me with this "are you f#&ing kidding me" face and asked "why didn't you use the caller? I would've brought you the bedpan!" and it was at this moment I realized I never even considered that I had a caller button or the bedpan was a thing. All I was thinking about is getting to the loo quietly so I don't bother anyone else. She ushered me back to bed and told me she's gonna tie me to the bed if I tried shit like this again. Not because I'm a burden, but because I could've yanked my drain tubes, I could've fallen and hurt myself even more, and so on. That's when I realized I was the worst kinda patient: I didn't know how to be cared for. Sufficed to say, it was a process. But other than that (and all the pain and almost dying part) I know it sounds morbid, but I enjoyed my hospital stay. I could finally sleep (the meds did wonders), for two weeks I could finally relax, read books, didn't have to think about work or anything else, they brought me food three times a day (I know people generally hate hospital food, but honestly, it wasn't that bad), and I was actually commanded to rest and relax. I could yoink a wheelchair and roll around the hospital yard and even take short walks when I was better. It was so great, the weather was nice, it was quiet, there was grass and plants n stuff. I was having the best chats with the night nurses (I was an owl, so I was always up late at night) and other patients. Honestly, I had more fun and relaxation in the two weeks in the hospital then I had anywhere else. How fucking sad is that?!
My dad is a doctor and he's worked with similar patients, who were able to drag themselves to the hospital for treatment even though they realistically shouldn't have been conscious. The majority of the time, those patients are Eastern European. Eastern Europeans are just built different it seems.
Yep, had appendicitis as a teen. It sucked just as bad as you described. The only really surprising thing to me was that I was in the operating room within less than an hour of walking into the ER with my dad. I do not remember much else from that day. The doctor apparently did not like what he saw on the ultrasound because the last thing I remember him asking was when I had last eaten. Next thing I know is I am in the operating room and am asked to count backwards from 10 after getting an IV hooked up. My arm went cold and the lights went out at „Eight“. All hail the Milk of Amnesia, a.k.a. Propofol. Woke up feeling insanely cold, shivering like mad and (as I was told later) swearing like a sailor, much to the embarrassment of my mum. I also was very adamant that I wanted to leave the premises. So I had to be restrained by an unnamed number of nurses. Then got some other happy juice. And let me tell you people: That stuff was absolutely top notch. They really know a thing or two about how to make you feel warm and cozy and book it straight to Lala Land. 🤪
Huh! I relate to your tale even more this year, Boris, cuz I had this wonderful thing called an 'incarcerated colon' early this year, where my gut had done a knot and was in danger of atrophying and killing me. Also, it turned out that I had undiagnosed venal hypertension because of the beating I put on my liver from way too much drink in my time, and this meant that I would bleed more like a fire hydrant and ALSO die quickly if they weren't careful. You can imagine how fun this was to hear with my dad in the room, a man I've tried all my life to live up to. So yeah, they wheel me in, I recite the Litany Against Fear as they're setting my gurney up and hooking me into the sleepy gas machine (the happy juice had come before the transfer from a clinic, and morphine is pretty far out to be awake through), and yeah, next thing I know, lights go out and then coming back on slowly, with them saying they're done. Seems I made it out of there okay, with my abdominal mesh being final-checked later this month, but your experience reminded me of this, and how strange the whole process can be when you get up one day and your body is struggling to stay alive more than usual. Very glad they took care of you and kept your majestic personality going, the world needs Boris more than ever~
I was awake since 6:00 this morning and I was in the phone for no absolute reason and I literally watched the notification go off. At that exact moment I was filled with joy when I realized Boris the man, the myth, and legend was back.
I recently (nov 2022)had a shoulder surgery to repair an injury I got when I was 13, I'm now 42. I had a slight cough before I went in, but didn't think much of it since I have seasonal allergies. I did all of my pre-surgery tests and everything came back normal. Turns out, I had a pretty advanced case of pneumonia and while they were taking out my intubation, I died. Obviously I did not stay dead, but every time one of my kids whines about something dumb, I get to pull the trump card out of, "but did you die?". That had been my 8th surgery in 5 yrs and the only one I ever had any issue with. Love your shit Boris, keep it up!
@@chickenlover657 5 knee surgeries on the left, 2 on my right, then my shoulder. I had a bad fall accident in 2018 that completely tore all the ligaments in my left knee as well as the patellar tendon. It also tore 3 ligaments in the right knee that I had previously torn in 2002. Since I'm still "too young" to get replacements, I have the distinct joy of not being able to work or walk well, but am still too healthy to get any type of disability.
Fact: Spicy food attribute almost nothing to giving someone appendicitis. Most of the causes came from having the appendix get clogged by stool, getting an infection in the intestine or both. So basically, Boris was given an unclean food.
Your skill in telling stories is unmatched and very hilarous. And you my dude, are just a unit ^^ I remember when I was like 11 years old, I woke up one morning and felt an immense stomach pain. Went waking my parents, told them about it, they gave me some painkillers and sent me back to bed. Shortly after, I got up again and told them that it still hurts. My dad came into my room, gently touched my stomach and checked where it hurts. "Right side" I said. He went back to my mum, asking her "the appendix is on the left side, isn't it?" and she answered "no, it's on the right." "weeeeell, we might have a problem then." We rushed to our regular doctor first, who touched my belly, saying "probably the appendix. Please go to the hospital." Went to the hospital, where 2 or 3 more people touched my belly as well, checking if they could increase my pain a bit more when pushing onto my bowels. Yes they could. Just like yours it was almost exploding yet and so actually even life-threatening. Landed in the E.R. shortly after, had surgery and woke up without my appendix-boy. Stayed in the hospital for like 3 nights more before I went home. Peeing in a bottle was weird. Would not recommend.
I’m sorry that happened to you, Boris. I hope you got better after all that. Tons of hugs and loves to you. By the way, thanks for the story you told me. I appreciate it.
Wow, what a story! At first I was mostly listening while I did other stuff on my computer, but after about 3 minutes I was so captivated by the story and the hand gestures that I put the other stuff on hold and just watched with my full attention. I'm so glad you're still with us, Boris!
My dad got appendicitis as an adult when I was about 6, but his appendix exploded because he didn't go to a doctor for too long and it almost killed him. This is one of multiple good reasons why men pay more for insurance and need to stfu about it being unfair. I got appendicitis at age 15 and got seen and diagnosed that same morning for emergency surgery. I got sick a lot normally, but I told him it felt different, pointed at where it was and he had that "oh shit" feeling. My doctor barely gently poked the spot where I now have a big scar, I howled and the both looked at each other like "oh shit". Thank you for going to the hospital and for not dying, but I must do the woman thing and scold you a little for not going to the doctor sooner once it was apparent that it was different from food poisoning. Men are so stubborn and careless.
...How the fuck is the fact that he ignored the pain related to him being male, aside from your own definition of 'masculinity'? I know just as many women who would do that as men. Unequal rates are unequal, *_period._*
As someone who has been dealing with stomach issues for a lot of my life and had appendicitis as a kid I, no joke, started to almost feel sick in the stomach myself while listening to him describing his symptoms as he was telling the story. Also can confirm this is 100% how it goes for someone who gets appendicitis both before and during the hospital visit. The "stomach jab" with two fingers when they did it to me I could tell from how it felt on the surface of my abdomen they were barely touching me but inside my nerves were screaming pain signals into my brain.
I feel like a little shit after hearing your story Boris, almost the exact same thing happened to me and I was in agony, so much agony I couldn’t even speak or make any sounds just laying on the ground in pain. We went to the hospital by ambulance (thank god I live in Hungary so they came there fast) and when we got there I was absolutely kinda fine! I have no idea how it works but when I am in a hospital I just become immortal somehow and all the pain goes away and when I step out of the hospital it’s like I am turning back to mortal! But you Boris… you are fucking stronk there is no denying it so I am and everyone else is happy that you haven’t died! Thank you Boris for sharing your story and for not giving up on us and continued making awesome videos! Love from Hungary 🇭🇺
Something about actually being in the hospital makes you feel better I swear, I had been dealing with a fever of 105-106ish, serious aches and chills, couldn't eat, sweating my ass off in -5°C weather, for about a week, and after about an hour sitting in the ER waiting room I was just sitting there like, "This is fine, I'm gonna be fine" That reassurance is a powerful drug lol.
I have had my appendix out. Experience was similar. I went to Urgent Care (for the non Americans it is an outpatient clinic that is everywhere) and the nurse there told me to take a seat, drink a “gastro-cocktail” which consisted of pepto-bismol, a laxative and a crushed up painkiller. Then I sat to stew for an hour or so. Once the cocktail worked its way through my system, if I still hurt, the nurse said she’d know if it was appendicitis. I still hurt after my system was cleaned out and the painkiller did its magic. The clinic called ahead to a hospital across town, and the moment I arrived and verified my name and birthday, doctors came out of the doors and told me to sit in the wheelchair and they pushed me straight into a staging room of sorts. Was effectively a clean storage bay with three curtains and a bathroom. I was instructed to lay on the bed while nurses came and hooked me into a few monitors. I was instructed to remove my clothes and put on a hospital gown. After verifying I wasn’t faking it and doing a quick blood test, they determined I was fighting an infection due to increased white blood cell counts. Coupled with where I said the pain was, they knew it was appendicitis. I had not eaten lunch for the same reason you didn’t eat for 24 hours. So the doctors took me straight into another prep room where they verified I didn’t have any allergies to their medicine and prepped me for surgery, pumping chems into me for… something. Not sure what they were for. I was on the operating table in minutes and out within seconds. I slept for eight hours after the surgery. They might’ve used a bit too much anesthesia, but I woke up in the early morning after the surgery. I was up and walking within hours and able to run and lift heavy things in two weeks.
In America, they always assume surgery. In some countries, like the UK, the first line of attack is antibiotics, then surgery. Success rates are similar. That's why they asked Boris if he wanted surgery.
@@straightpipediesel Maybe Europe has more uncomplicated cases, but in the countries around where I live, surgery is always recommended and I'm now even living in the US. And also getting a surgery also makes sure that it won't happen again.
@@SirHellNajaYour comment made me read up a bit more. A factor is that the US and more advanced countries use laparoscopic surgery (minimally-invasive) whereas others still use open surgery, which has more complications, risk and recovery time. With laparoscopy, you can be out in a day, whereas with antibiotics, you're taking up a bed for several days on IV, so you have a case where surgery can be cheaper than medication. Like you say, there is a recurrence rate with antibiotics. So there's a question of whether you want the risk of surgery, or do you want to be miserable for several days and potentially do it all over in 2-3 years.
man, this reminds me of when my appendix went in 2017. As someone who's been in and out of hosptials a lot as a teenager. I can relate to this pretty heavily lol. I've been lurking your channel from 2016 Boris, it's good to see you not dead and doing well.
Boris, you deserve a Nobel in literature for all the magnificent, eufemistic and absolutely charming descriptions of you vomiting. And the second lil' Nobel for the moment where the nurse first time checked does it hurt exactly here, I loved it. BTW, since that animated video from the hospital I sometimes wondered what happened to you and was a little worried. Thanks for sharing that story with us.
Your pain tolerance is high Boris. Regular gastritis that I usually had every few week or so is stressful enough, I can’t make do with appendicitis. Glad you are okay. Phew that was a rough days you had
Boris, this was probably one of your most labor intensive videos! With your live action self gesturing on the right *AND* the sheer amount of animation on the left! I'm glad you're feeling better, but man you're showing off your skills today.
Get well soon Boris! I feel for you. On another note: This make me feel easier because I displayed similar behaviors with hospitals and doctors and I thought it was something wrong with me. Now I know! I am an Eastern European and we behave similarly!!! Blyat, what a relief. LOL, last September I drove home from my prostate surgery (few hours after it) and thought nothing wrong with it. Thank you Boris for being my therapist! LOL
This is similar to a story I have about pancreatitis. I thought it was appendicitis but unfortunately it wasn't, it was pancreatitis and I've now had chronic pancreatitis for 10 years. Driving when your body is angry is a whole other experience, like there's nothing else like it in my opinion
Longest ER wait I had was 1 1/2 hours for a kidney stones. I couldn’t understand what the issue was at first, so I was kind of ignored. My older sister who was with me heard my complaints, thought it was kidney stones or testicular torsion. She told the receptionist, and they pulled me into a room immediately 😂
I had appendicitis when I was a kid and ended up in hospital for two weeks due to infection. Apparently my appendix had swollen to a large grapefruit. Glad you are still with us Boris!
So, i can relate of what boris said about the punch in the stomach, i had Appendix/appendicitis back in 2013-2014, and my parents did'nt know i had it so i was medicated with generic meds to treat the pain, about 2 weeks later after like hell of pain, finally i go to hospital and get surgery.. they said i was just in time before mine get to critical state where my appendix almost pop inside
“The only reason they took me so seriously is because it’s +25 degrees out side, and I was wearing a winter coat while being completely paleintheface” best sentence ever.
Damn, listening to this story takes me back to last year when i got appendicitis too lmao. It was an adventure between home, finding a good hospital (bcos they're often shit in my country), fight with parents (they blame me over my sickness), and holding back tears because multiple injections.
Hospital ER wait times near Boris: average 2-3 hrs Treatment: Successful ✅ Treatment cost: $0 Hospital ER wait times near me: average 2-5 hrs Treatment: Success unclear; may need to go to second ER in a few days Treatment Cost: $10,000 When you first said how long the wait times could be, I was like, “Damn, that still sucks.” But no money? I can barely comprehend it. Glad you were taken care of!
Thank goodness you made it to the hospital when you did in one piece, Unlike that other guys greatly successful spring drive Thank you for the awesome video Boris~ Always glad to see your animations even if they are shorter Thank you for all your hard work, Keep it up m(_ _)m I hope your having a lovely day, Have a wonderful rest of your week, Be safe and Take care out there wherever you are (^=W=^)7 And you too fellow viewer~
Glad your surgery went well Boris! I had the exact same thing happen to me when I visited Thailand a few years ago! Not a lot of pain at first so I went a few days with it, but then I started having fever and vomiting. Doctors said I was lucky cause mine was on the verge of popping haha.
Moral of the story: You should be completely honest when your anesthesiologist asks you how much you regularly drink.
This. Same way with drug usage. They aren't going to narc on you and ship you to rehab. All they care about is you not dying.
Any doctor. Be fully honest about your drug use, they need to know everything to help you best.
How is that the moral of the story?
Alcohol can mess with anesthesia and it's dosing, which is why Boris was dealing with the anesthetic the way he did.
Moral of the story: live in a country with public healthcare
Boris sounds like the kind of guy that would arrive to ER with 2 missing lungs and still crack some jokes and have a drink with doctors
'Tis but a scratch.
Absolutely.
When the patient woke up, the skeleton was missing, and the doctor was never heard from again!

I had a stone or two when I was 10 or so. Horrible experiance, especially since we didnt know what it was and they are uncommon in kids
The IV did nothing for my kidney stone pain. They had to give me an NSAID that was super-high dosage to dull the pain.

That is probably the most terrifying thing I've ever heard.
Boris being so calm and driving and talking normally all the time in the hospital is another great display of the power of mayonez

And she facepalmed so hard, then looked at me with this "are you f#&ing kidding me" face and asked "why didn't you use the caller?

All I was thinking about is getting to the loo quietly so I don't bother anyone else. She ushered me back to bed and told me she's gonna tie me to the bed if I tried shit like this again. Not because I'm a burden, but because I could've yanked my drain tubes, I could've fallen and hurt myself even more, and so on. That's when I realized I was the worst kinda patient: I didn't know how to be cared for. Sufficed to say, it was a process.
But other than that (and all the pain and almost dying part) I know it sounds morbid, but I enjoyed my hospital stay. I could finally sleep (the meds did wonders), for two weeks I could finally relax, read books, didn't have to think about work or anything else, they brought me food three times a day (I know people generally hate hospital food, but honestly, it wasn't that bad), and I was actually commanded to rest and relax. I could yoink a wheelchair and roll around the hospital yard and even take short walks when I was better. It was so great, the weather was nice, it was quiet, there was grass and plants n stuff. I was having the best chats with the night nurses (I was an owl, so I was always up late at night) and other patients. Honestly, I had more fun and relaxation in the two weeks in the hospital then I had anywhere else. How fucking sad is that?!
My dad is a doctor and he's worked with similar patients, who were able to drag themselves to the hospital for treatment even though they realistically shouldn't have been conscious. The majority of the time, those patients are Eastern European.
Eastern Europeans are just built different it seems.
An alive boris is a good boris. Love the content :)
Yep, had appendicitis as a teen. It sucked just as bad as you described. The only really surprising thing to me was that I was in the operating room within less than an hour of walking into the ER with my dad. I do not remember much else from that day.
The doctor apparently did not like what he saw on the ultrasound because the last thing I remember him asking was when I had last eaten. Next thing I know is I am in the operating room and am asked to count backwards from 10 after getting an IV hooked up. My arm went cold and the lights went out at „Eight“.
All hail the Milk of Amnesia, a.k.a. Propofol.
Woke up feeling insanely cold, shivering like mad and (as I was told later) swearing like a sailor, much to the embarrassment of my mum. I also was very adamant that I wanted to leave the premises. So I had to be restrained by an unnamed number of nurses. Then got some other happy juice. And let me tell you people: That stuff was absolutely top notch. They really know a thing or two about how to make you feel warm and cozy and book it straight to Lala Land. 🤪

Damn, I knew the tatratea addiction would bite back Boris. All that teleportation will destroy your body.
no man he said the spicy food had the shit started
@@profrbbfr tatratea, especially the higher proof, is very spicy.
Boris : *getting a stomach inflammation*
Also Boris : this is a win in my book!
Boris is just build different, also writing your operation time into a calendar is pure comedy
Huh! I relate to your tale even more this year, Boris, cuz I had this wonderful thing called an 'incarcerated colon' early this year, where my gut had done a knot and was in danger of atrophying and killing me. Also, it turned out that I had undiagnosed venal hypertension because of the beating I put on my liver from way too much drink in my time, and this meant that I would bleed more like a fire hydrant and ALSO die quickly if they weren't careful. You can imagine how fun this was to hear with my dad in the room, a man I've tried all my life to live up to.
So yeah, they wheel me in, I recite the Litany Against Fear as they're setting my gurney up and hooking me into the sleepy gas machine (the happy juice had come before the transfer from a clinic, and morphine is pretty far out to be awake through), and yeah, next thing I know, lights go out and then coming back on slowly, with them saying they're done. Seems I made it out of there okay, with my abdominal mesh being final-checked later this month, but your experience reminded me of this, and how strange the whole process can be when you get up one day and your body is struggling to stay alive more than usual.
Very glad they took care of you and kept your majestic personality going, the world needs Boris more than ever~
I was awake since 6:00 this morning and I was in the phone for no absolute reason and I literally watched the notification go off. At that exact moment I was filled with joy when I realized Boris the man, the myth, and legend was back.
I recently (nov 2022)had a shoulder surgery to repair an injury I got when I was 13, I'm now 42. I had a slight cough before I went in, but didn't think much of it since I have seasonal allergies. I did all of my pre-surgery tests and everything came back normal. Turns out, I had a pretty advanced case of pneumonia and while they were taking out my intubation, I died. Obviously I did not stay dead, but every time one of my kids whines about something dumb, I get to pull the trump card out of, "but did you die?". That had been my 8th surgery in 5 yrs and the only one I ever had any issue with.
Love your shit Boris, keep it up!
The hell you operating 8 times?
@@chickenlover657 5 knee surgeries on the left, 2 on my right, then my shoulder. I had a bad fall accident in 2018 that completely tore all the ligaments in my left knee as well as the patellar tendon. It also tore 3 ligaments in the right knee that I had previously torn in 2002. Since I'm still "too young" to get replacements, I have the distinct joy of not being able to work or walk well, but am still too healthy to get any type of disability.
@@ryan-uu9lj Oh wow, that's some predicament. My condolences.

Hope you’re feeling better about this.
Umm...he never felt bad about it. Nothing to fix.

@@Perdix64 And what is going on?

@@Perdix64 What about it? What's your point?
Fact: Spicy food attribute almost nothing to giving someone appendicitis. Most of the causes came from having the appendix get clogged by stool, getting an infection in the intestine or both.
So basically, Boris was given an unclean food.
Always a good day when Papa Boris upload
Your skill in telling stories is unmatched and very hilarous. And you my dude, are just a unit ^^
I remember when I was like 11 years old, I woke up one morning and felt an immense stomach pain. Went waking my parents, told them about it, they gave me some painkillers and sent me back to bed.
Shortly after, I got up again and told them that it still hurts.
My dad came into my room, gently touched my stomach and checked where it hurts. "Right side" I said.
He went back to my mum, asking her "the appendix is on the left side, isn't it?" and she answered "no, it's on the right." "weeeeell, we might have a problem then."
We rushed to our regular doctor first, who touched my belly, saying "probably the appendix. Please go to the hospital."
Went to the hospital, where 2 or 3 more people touched my belly as well, checking if they could increase my pain a bit more when pushing onto my bowels. Yes they could.
Just like yours it was almost exploding yet and so actually even life-threatening.
Landed in the E.R. shortly after, had surgery and woke up without my appendix-boy. Stayed in the hospital for like 3 nights more before I went home. Peeing in a bottle was weird. Would not recommend.
the world is a better place with you still alive thank you boris.
I’m sorry that happened to you, Boris. I hope you got better after all that. Tons of hugs and loves to you. By the way, thanks for the story you told me. I appreciate it.
Classic Boris, redefining medical professionals' expectations
Wow, what a story! At first I was mostly listening while I did other stuff on my computer, but after about 3 minutes I was so captivated by the story and the hand gestures that I put the other stuff on hold and just watched with my full attention. I'm so glad you're still with us, Boris!
I know this is a serious story and all but the way you narrate how it went down just made me laugh my sides off.
My dad got appendicitis as an adult when I was about 6, but his appendix exploded because he didn't go to a doctor for too long and it almost killed him. This is one of multiple good reasons why men pay more for insurance and need to stfu about it being unfair.
I got appendicitis at age 15 and got seen and diagnosed that same morning for emergency surgery. I got sick a lot normally, but I told him it felt different, pointed at where it was and he had that "oh shit" feeling. My doctor barely gently poked the spot where I now have a big scar, I howled and the both looked at each other like "oh shit".
Thank you for going to the hospital and for not dying, but I must do the woman thing and scold you a little for not going to the doctor sooner once it was apparent that it was different from food poisoning. Men are so stubborn and careless.
...How the fuck is the fact that he ignored the pain related to him being male, aside from your own definition of 'masculinity'? I know just as many women who would do that as men. Unequal rates are unequal, *_period._*
Only Boris can make a story of how he almost passed away funny. 10/10
I'm happy that you recovered, товарищ
Little did the car rental guy know, he did in fact NOT see that car again, probably having rusted away in the hospital parking lot.
When vodka runs through your veins, you're bound to get surgery in Eastern Europe.
I thought that was what kept you out of hospitals.

As someone who has been dealing with stomach issues for a lot of my life and had appendicitis as a kid I, no joke, started to almost feel sick in the stomach myself while listening to him describing his symptoms as he was telling the story. Also can confirm this is 100% how it goes for someone who gets appendicitis both before and during the hospital visit. The "stomach jab" with two fingers when they did it to me I could tell from how it felt on the surface of my abdomen they were barely touching me but inside my nerves were screaming pain signals into my brain.
I feel like a little shit after hearing your story Boris, almost the exact same thing happened to me and I was in agony, so much agony I couldn’t even speak or make any sounds just laying on the ground in pain. We went to the hospital by ambulance (thank god I live in Hungary so they came there fast) and when we got there I was absolutely kinda fine! I have no idea how it works but when I am in a hospital I just become immortal somehow and all the pain goes away and when I step out of the hospital it’s like I am turning back to mortal! But you Boris… you are fucking stronk there is no denying it so I am and everyone else is happy that you haven’t died! Thank you Boris for sharing your story and for not giving up on us and continued making awesome videos! Love from Hungary 🇭🇺
Ok so it at least hurts enough for you to know “hey I need to get to the ER”? That’s a relief.
Something about actually being in the hospital makes you feel better I swear, I had been dealing with a fever of 105-106ish, serious aches and chills, couldn't eat, sweating my ass off in -5°C weather, for about a week, and after about an hour sitting in the ER waiting room I was just sitting there like, "This is fine, I'm gonna be fine" That reassurance is a powerful drug lol.
Honestly with your talent for story telling there is no need for animations, you yourself are animated enough!
Boris never fail to make us laugh
This is such an entertaining video. You're a great story teller, Boris. Ha! Surgeon just going "Nurse? Why is it still talking to me."
I have had my appendix out. Experience was similar.
I went to Urgent Care (for the non Americans it is an outpatient clinic that is everywhere) and the nurse there told me to take a seat, drink a “gastro-cocktail” which consisted of pepto-bismol, a laxative and a crushed up painkiller. Then I sat to stew for an hour or so. Once the cocktail worked its way through my system, if I still hurt, the nurse said she’d know if it was appendicitis. I still hurt after my system was cleaned out and the painkiller did its magic.
The clinic called ahead to a hospital across town, and the moment I arrived and verified my name and birthday, doctors came out of the doors and told me to sit in the wheelchair and they pushed me straight into a staging room of sorts. Was effectively a clean storage bay with three curtains and a bathroom. I was instructed to lay on the bed while nurses came and hooked me into a few monitors. I was instructed to remove my clothes and put on a hospital gown.
After verifying I wasn’t faking it and doing a quick blood test, they determined I was fighting an infection due to increased white blood cell counts. Coupled with where I said the pain was, they knew it was appendicitis.
I had not eaten lunch for the same reason you didn’t eat for 24 hours. So the doctors took me straight into another prep room where they verified I didn’t have any allergies to their medicine and prepped me for surgery, pumping chems into me for… something. Not sure what they were for. I was on the operating table in minutes and out within seconds.
I slept for eight hours after the surgery. They might’ve used a bit too much anesthesia, but I woke up in the early morning after the surgery. I was up and walking within hours and able to run and lift heavy things in two weeks.
In America, they always assume surgery. In some countries, like the UK, the first line of attack is antibiotics, then surgery. Success rates are similar. That's why they asked Boris if he wanted surgery.
@@straightpipediesel Maybe Europe has more uncomplicated cases, but in the countries around where I live, surgery is always recommended and I'm now even living in the US.
And also getting a surgery also makes sure that it won't happen again.
@@SirHellNajaYour comment made me read up a bit more. A factor is that the US and more advanced countries use laparoscopic surgery (minimally-invasive) whereas others still use open surgery, which has more complications, risk and recovery time. With laparoscopy, you can be out in a day, whereas with antibiotics, you're taking up a bed for several days on IV, so you have a case where surgery can be cheaper than medication. Like you say, there is a recurrence rate with antibiotics. So there's a question of whether you want the risk of surgery, or do you want to be miserable for several days and potentially do it all over in 2-3 years.
I'm glad you've survived. Thanks for the story comrade. Stay cheeki breeki!
It honestly doesn't surprise me that Boris wasn't afraid at all of having to get surgery
Always happy to get a post notification from the Slav King 😎🤙
Wish more patients were like boris
man, this reminds me of when my appendix went in 2017. As someone who's been in and out of hosptials a lot as a teenager. I can relate to this pretty heavily lol. I've been lurking your channel from 2016 Boris, it's good to see you not dead and doing well.
Boris, you deserve a Nobel in literature for all the magnificent, eufemistic and absolutely charming descriptions of you vomiting. And the second lil' Nobel for the moment where the nurse first time checked does it hurt exactly here, I loved it.
BTW, since that animated video from the hospital I sometimes wondered what happened to you and was a little worried. Thanks for sharing that story with us.
Your pain tolerance is high Boris. Regular gastritis that I usually had every few week or so is stressful enough, I can’t make do with appendicitis. Glad you are okay. Phew that was a rough days you had
Boris, this was probably one of your most labor intensive videos! With your live action self gesturing on the right *AND* the sheer amount of animation on the left! I'm glad you're feeling better, but man you're showing off your skills today.
That's okay. I loved the video even without animation. Thanks for the entertainment :)
Now my -day- life is better knowing that Boris still uploads
Get well soon Boris! I feel for you. On another note: This make me feel easier because I displayed similar behaviors with hospitals and doctors and I thought it was something wrong with me. Now I know! I am an Eastern European and we behave similarly!!! Blyat, what a relief. LOL, last September I drove home from my prostate surgery (few hours after it) and thought nothing wrong with it. Thank you Boris for being my therapist! LOL
I found you❤
glad to see you're doing better boris, and still making (quality) content ^_^
this is was one of the best videos in a while
This is similar to a story I have about pancreatitis. I thought it was appendicitis but unfortunately it wasn't, it was pancreatitis and I've now had chronic pancreatitis for 10 years. Driving when your body is angry is a whole other experience, like there's nothing else like it in my opinion
Boris, your voice makes everything so entertaining omg, your vids are top peak man, keep up slav star
Longest ER wait I had was 1 1/2 hours for a kidney stones. I couldn’t understand what the issue was at first, so I was kind of ignored. My older sister who was with me heard my complaints, thought it was kidney stones or testicular torsion. She told the receptionist, and they pulled me into a room immediately 😂
I had appendicitis when I was a kid and ended up in hospital for two weeks due to infection. Apparently my appendix had swollen to a large grapefruit.
Glad you are still with us Boris!
So, i can relate of what boris said about the punch in the stomach, i had Appendix/appendicitis back in 2013-2014, and my parents did'nt know i had it so i was medicated with generic meds to treat the pain, about 2 weeks later after like hell of pain, finally i go to hospital and get surgery.. they said i was just in time before mine get to critical state where my appendix almost pop inside
Laughed my ass of at some moments. Certified Boris classic!
Even though his story is about him going to a hospital, he still made my day and made me laugh, thank you bro 👍
“The only reason they took me so seriously is because it’s +25 degrees out side, and I was wearing a winter coat while being completely paleintheface” best sentence ever.
boris having so much energy in his videos always makes me smile
I can get so bored I listen to Boris without captions. Greatest thing ever.
Not even Boris' own body can stop Boris
Very excited Boris still post the videos ❤
*Helo boris!, Nice to see you again!!, Love to see you healthy and well. Love the videos you make, they all help us all in some ways or another*
I'm so overjoyed to see another one of your videos Comrade Boris!

THANK YOU BORIS! That was a highly entertaining and funny story. I needed that kind of a laugh after my day... All the best to you.
I'm gonna be honest with you man, you were one of the content creators that I watched that helped me with my depression, so I guess thank you man.
Wow, I should not say it sounds fun, but with how Boris tells it, it sounds fun.
Damn, listening to this story takes me back to last year when i got appendicitis too lmao. It was an adventure between home, finding a good hospital (bcos they're often shit in my country), fight with parents (they blame me over my sickness), and holding back tears because multiple injections.
Thank you for the story Boris! Glad the surgery worked out for you!
Boris is BACK :D
thank you boris. i donated a kidney 9 years ago to a sick mother. i had quite the experience as well. i live in ontario, canada
1 day recovery? Plutonium flavored Milk from Chernobyl has given Boris the power of fast health regen.
You know its going to be a fun day when Boris releases a video.
Glad you were okay, my brother.
Hospital ER wait times near Boris: average 2-3 hrs
Treatment: Successful ✅
Treatment cost: $0
Hospital ER wait times near me: average 2-5 hrs
Treatment: Success unclear; may need to go to second ER in a few days
Treatment Cost: $10,000
When you first said how long the wait times could be, I was like, “Damn, that still sucks.” But no money? I can barely comprehend it.
Glad you were taken care of!
7:10 this made me laugh so hard I wheezed and got tears in my eyes. A horrific event turned into a piece of comedy - love you Boris! 🤗💖👏👍
Loved every second of it!
Thank goodness you made it to the hospital when you did in one piece, Unlike that other guys greatly successful spring drive
Thank you for the awesome video Boris~
Always glad to see your animations even if they are shorter
Thank you for all your hard work, Keep it up m(_ _)m
I hope your having a lovely day, Have a wonderful rest of your week, Be safe and Take care out there wherever you are (^=W=^)7
And you too fellow viewer~
God, I remember wondering at the time if you had appendicitis bc it came on so abruptly! I'm so glad you're still here, Boris 💙
Boris: *Is near death, with a heavy wound, completely confused and losing sense of time*
also Boris: 5/5 would do it again
Glad your surgery went well Boris! I had the exact same thing happen to me when I visited Thailand a few years ago! Not a lot of pain at first so I went a few days with it, but then I started having fever and vomiting. Doctors said I was lucky cause mine was on the verge of popping haha.
Finally, boris is getting better as always 💕
