A dispatch from the middle of the event
Joe records this short update from an emergency room while he believes he is still passing a kidney stone. He says the day began with the sensation of needing to urinate but being unable to do so, followed by stabbing pain that had continued for at least six hours. He rates its intensity above nine on a ten-point scale.
At the time of recording, Joe says he is waiting for X-rays and a CT scan to confirm what happened and determine its extent. He offers no theory about the cause, no modification to OMAD, and no instruction for viewers. The clip ends with a promise to report back, leaving an unresolved personal record rather than a lesson.
