Tablo recently opened up about a terrifying ordeal he faced in London due to kidney stones, sharing the distressing experience on his YouTube channel on the 28th. The video, titled "A Near-Death Experience Meeting Spider-Man in London...", begins with Tablo revealing, "Something unbelievable happened. I almost died in London."

Tablo's London Nightmare: Hospital Refusal and Billing Chaos

On his flight to London for scheduled activities, Tablo started to feel symptoms related to his condition. Though he initially tried to endure the discomfort, the pain escalated to a point where he had to seek immediate medical attention. He recalled, "I found an urgent care facility and made a reservation, hoping I could finally get help." He took a taxi and traveled for 40 minutes to reach the clinic.

Upon arrival, Tablo faced another setback. He approached the reception desk only to be told by the staff that no doctors were available at that moment, despite having made a reservation. In a frantic plea, he exclaimed, "How is that possible? I’m dying here. Please, can someone check for me!" Unfortunately, he learned the doctor had just left his shift.

Finding no help at that facility, Tablo had to walk ten minutes to another location. He described the journey as feeling like "40 days in the desert, it was like being at the brink of death." After a long wait at the second clinic, he finally managed to see a doctor, although it wasn't a urologist.

After navigating through more complications, he finally met with a urology specialist but was left disappointed. Upon receiving a prescription, Tablo expected it to come via email, which felt odd to him. "I asked for a paper prescription, but they insisted on going digital," he said. Time was running out as the pharmacy was about to close.

On his way to the pharmacy, he received a payment link instead of the necessary prescription. "The problem is, I had already paid a hefty amount at the hospital. I called to ask, 'What is this new charge?' The amount was nonsensical considering what I had already paid," he explained. The extra charge was related to the final examination by the urologist, which led Tablo to question the integrity of the medical facility he had visited, saying, "At this point, I wondered if the place I went to was even a real hospital."
