They wouldn't take your xray, and insist on using 'their own' because its 'more reliable'. I've done a lot of self diagnosing using what I could either making, or getting at home testing for various things. I needed the docs prescription pad to get me the necessary meds, but always have had to pay for their stupid testing despite already knowing whats wrong. I know their just doing their job, but I did 95% of the work for them BECAUSE I couldn't afford the diagnosis process, I legit just needed the ending medication treatment
This is inherently what they should expect: it follows the 'right to repair' and other DIY ethos. The era of 'you need to go to the Dr. to find this out' is coming to an end as tech has advanced so much that a LOT of clin lab testing and analysis (which is the backbone of diagnostic/confirmation testing) can be made or purchased cheap. The internet contains ALL the information you'd need to know from IDing if you have salmonella vs shigella infection to how to remove an appendix (if you're really on a budget). Couple this with the fact that eventually medicine will become entirely accessible w/o prescription and suddenly a Dr is somebody you go to when you don't want to do the testing yourself or as a matter of convenience/second opinion.
As a field engineer that works on X-ray systems, this is hilarious. One caution I would give is that most system regulate the amount of time and amps to the tube because it will overheat. So don’t leave it on for more than a few seconds or you can wreck your tube. Fancy ones spin inside and shoot the voltage in pulses to avoid overheating. Great stuff.

I used to live in a small town in the mountains. I had an accident one day and dislocated 3 fingers. I put them back myself immediately. But they hurt like heck, and was worried that there might be some serious damage..... Instead of driving 20 miles to the County Hospital and paying 500$ for an x-ray and doctors consultation, I just went down to the local Veterinary Clinic instead. It only cost me 50$ for the X-ray and the consultation. She logged me as a 180lb Great Dane 🐕 for her records lol
Vets are extremely skilled at a lot of things. They have to wear so many hats at work because they can't send you to a specialist. They act as the dentist, the oncologist, the radiologist, the surgeon, and many more. Unfortunately, it's illegal for them to practice medicine on humans (unless it's an emergency).
This is one of those, “it never happened incidents.” Even though no name or location was given, this is how people get caught. Everyone in town probably knows about the vet, but everyone thinks they are the only one. Thats how hush hush that shit is.
My last mountain bike accident involved ambulance, 10 days in hospital, several x rays, many many pain meds, surgery for a clavicle plate, meds for home after discharge, 2 or three follow up consults etc etc…. The biggest expense was car parking for when my partner brought me real coffee and some home cooked meals! Australia. My Medicare levy is paid from my income tax and is a fraction of what Americans pay.

@@patinthechat6452 you're wrong, the sounds are just within the machine and there is insulation to prevent it from being noisy. Also, try getting a MRI and tell me there's no sound. 😋
The fact that you have medical insurance and still had to pay $2500 is actually insane. I had an ambulance called for me because i had a massive panic attack that caused various parts of my body to lock up, i recovered by the time the ambulance got there, never set foot inside of it, and they still tried to charge me almost 3 grand with insurance. It's such a racket.
insane that you have to deal with that. i had covid complications and got an ambulance ride and an overnight stay at a hospital of my choice and got charged something like 21$ for the ambulance ride.
I wouldnt be so sure about that. "Who left his lasagna on the fuckin transformator" is also one of the sentence you dont expect to hear after a loud bang.
In Sweden you'd only have to pay about 20 bucks.. if you don't show up to your appointment, that is. If you do show up to your appointment, then it's free. (free-ish, I understand how taxes work)
@@reinervonriva7102 In Australia we have a Medicare levy. If you earn over the threshold for the year of $90000 AND you don't pay for your own private healthcare insurance, $1462 will not be returned to you in your yearly tax return. If you earn less than $90k, Medicare is mostly free. Personally I pay the levy, as the care I get is still outstanding. (And due to a condition, I'm getting my moneys worth!)
Thanks William, I never knew how safe and accessible an x-ray could be. Great educational content using simple household ingredients, with a fun twist!
The money is for insurance companies. Hospitals request insane amounts of money from the insurance companies. The insurance companies with all the resypurces and an army of accountants and lawyers negotiate for a fraction of the price and then they settle. In cases insurance refuses to pay, the hospitals sends it to the patient hoping to recoup some of the costs. The vast majority of the time, especially if someone is underinsured or has no insurance the hospita is willing to take part of the price because they know that the average person cannot pay the full bill and will eat the losses as a business expense.
Pro tip: When you go to the hospital, ask them to itemize your charges. That way you can see what they are charging you for and if it seems that they are charging you something for no reason, you can dispute those charges and pay less!

@@trashpanda5866 true, but noise is usually colored. When it’s just white spots like that, and the video is about a homemade X-ray machine, or radiation hitting the sensor.
Static can be alot more than color noise in images. Electric current and sound can have static. I'd say in the refrence to just the image the dots are static, but to the experiment they are clear confirmation of xray generation and not static.
The sad thing about this is if you broke your arm, took an x-ray and then sent it to a doctor they would not offer you medical assistance pertaining to that image.
Well yeah because the image quality is dogshit, poor image quality increases the risk of something being missed. They don't want a malpractice suit because of a homemade x-ray LOL
Because there is no way for the doctor to limit their liability at all. So if you x-ray somebody else's arm and lie to the doctor and say it was your arm and the treatment ends up being incorrect because of that then they're still liable for malpractice because you're not a doctor and therefore they shouldn't have trusted you even to do basic things. And even if you sign a waiver saying that you won't hold them responsible for mistakes arising from your own stupidity and malfeasance in providing diagnostic data, when it gets to the courtroom that's worth exactly nothing.
@@oddmothfriend9790 Well it's the welfare state specifically.

William manages to hit this perfect mix of vastly interesting and extremely horrifying. Also I like that he goes on a tirade about the safety of xrays, meanwhile the 60k volts actively arcing to every loose piece of metal in the vicinity, no worries there.
I came back to watch this again after your "I'm done" video. I don't understand how people are getting triggered by a comedy tech channel. You literally say whether or not what you're doing is safe or not. This shit is hilarious AND educational. I think people just forget that you have qualifications because you're not serious all the time.
As he said, it's an incredibly small minority, but amongst millions of viewers, a very small minority is still a good couple hundred people. Not many people can handle being criticized by hundreds of people, even if millions praise you.
Bro I did the same thing coming back from the "I'm done" vid and was looking for this exact comment... We need to have this thread posted or at least highlighted
like why do they even need to talk asif they know everything? it's sad when there are actual scumbags on this platform who got stan and people who enjoy making contents got bullied
Yes the oil would slow down the electrons by colliding with the oil, causing them to aquire a negative charge. Without the oil the electrons are free travel in every direction. The stand of metal cans where just conducting the postive charged xray electrons.
@@ZeroSpawn Close. Electrons can never have a positive charge. They are always negatively charged by one electron-Volt. The rest of what you said almost makes sense as a metaphor for what is happening using the mechanics of momentum. But the actual difference between air and oil in this application is the breakdown voltage. In dry air, the field strength for breakdown is only about 3 kV/mm, whereas in oil-cooled and oil-insulated transformers, it is about 20 kV/mm.
@@ZeroSpawn I just noticed that you called them “positive charged xray electrons”. Actually, the arcing has almost nothing to do with the X-ray tube. Instead, it is due to the very high voltage from the high voltage power supply. The X-ray tube has two parts as William mentioned. The filament that emits electrons (basically a light bulb) (also known as the cathode), and a target (anode) that is set to a very high voltage relative to the filament with a high voltage supply. The strong positive charge of the anode causes the electrons emitted by the cathode to speed over to it and crash into it, generating X-rays on impact. X-rays themselves are not electrons, but rather a form of electromagnetic radiation, like daylight or radio waves or microwaves.
I live in the Caribbean,an X-ray is literally free... U wait in the hospital for like half an hour, they call you in, you get the x-ray, then you leave.
@Ricky Smith Actually he is right getting an x-ray is safe, not something you want to do everyday, but the little playing around with it he did for this video isn't going to hurt him. He actually had quite a bit of safety equipment. Had his lead shield, and he had several ginger counters including a personal exposure one. What he did best of all though is he exposed just how much Americans are getting screwed by the health and medical supply industries. He just proved there is absolutely no reason why x-rays and probably most other procedures should cost even a fraction of the cost they do. Even doing it with all new parts and safety features in a factory should be way cheaper than they are. The markups in those companies must be high.
its just so wildly inspiring how smart you are to throw together shit and make something like that with stuff you buy off of ebay and craigslist and stuff you pull apart. I'm working on my second degree and you make me feel like a gremlin
thankfully, due to inverse square law, any kind of dose his neighbours got would be far far lower than what he got. and what he got would still have been absolutely tiny. the radiation isn't actually the real issue with his design, the real risk is electrocution.
This is simultaneously the best and dumbest thing I've ever seen someone do and I can't wait to replicate it because you didn't tell me to not try it at home.
One quick tip, most high voltage tubes want the filament to be on before the high voltage is applied. Otherwise the high voltage can cause the filament to sputter (electrons rip the emissive coating right off the filament as it heats up) reducing its life span. By letting the filament get up to operating temp before applying the high voltage the electrons boil off easier and therefore are much less likely to rip the coating off. Just thought you might want to get the most out of your x-ray tube so it can live long and piss x-rays.
As a UK citizen, it genuinely confuses me how expensive health care is in America obviously in the UK we have the NHS but even if you decide to go private here, I swear it doesn't cost nearly as much as it does in America.
As an American I can speak from experience. The issue with our medical system is the in group out of group. And the fact that you don't pay based on procedure but based on loads of other things. You can't call in and get a quote on something and get a clear answer for how much something will costs because they don't know untill they have all of your information. I like having options of doctors or chosing how much I pay for my insurance, but the fact that I can't get the price of something untill the procedure is done is maddening. An x-ray should cost the same no matter if I'm insured or not or who my insurance is though. The worst bit I had was I couldn't go to the doctors for some years because I had government insurance because I didn't make enough to get insurance, and with government insurance I couldn't get into anywhere because the government insurance didn't pay their bills, so no one excepted them. With this I also couldn't pay cash because that was made illegal. I could not get medical treatment because of government regulations that I was told were there to make sure I could. I have now gone years without treatment for a brain tumor because I wasn't allowed to pay cash for medical treatment because the government tried to help me. This is the reason that I say the government needs to stay out of my medical aside from making it to where insurance can be used everywhere by every medical provider, and that medical procedures have flat costs. An x-ray on my hand shouldn't cost me more because I pay more a month for insurance. All that and our emergency and urgent care system is over run by people who don't have doctors because they don't have adequate insurance for one reason or another. A major toll in some areas are illigal important who don't have social security numbers and thus can not be billed later, and no human is allowed to be denied life saving services even if they can't pay. I don't think people should be denied services, but you shouldn't be able to just walk away free because you aren't a citizen. Thats right illigal immigrants have free Healthcare in America at urgent care locations because they can't be denied service and they can't be tracked later.
It costs so much because everything is corrupt. Just look at our Congress and Senate; greedy and bought out by corporate lobbying. The people who make the rules get more money this way . . .
Pro tip from a person that has been in immense amounts of medical debt several times. Don't pay it, it will go away in like ten years. They'll sell your debt eventually and you can either not answer the calls or tell them the debt isn't valid anymore because you never agreed to anything with the collection agency. It's an annoying seven to ten years usually but it goes away
I would love to see his doctor’s face the next time he breaks a bone. “I’m going to order an x-ray...” “No, it’s ok, I brought some from home. In this one I’m doing ‘live long and prosper’...”
William: "I don't want to hear all the whining from the safety nerds. This is fine." Also William: "Think about all the cool scientists who died doing science."
I am genuinely curious what they would do if they told you you need an x-ray and you said 'no, ill take it myself' and then showed up the next day with your own x-rays
Chances are the x-rays just wouldn't be particularly useful, as modern x-rays have very detailed specs on power output, duration, post processing, etc, that this thing could never hit. Like, you could probably diagnose a clean break with this, but modern x-rays at the right settings can tell you so much more
I've done things... like this. They'll basically say that they can't accept any evidence that wasn't produces in a medical setting. They'll also tell you it's very dangerous.
I don't want to sound like a dick because we still have our own issues in my country just like everyone. But in Australia I've had 6 x rays and never paid for one , it's as easy as going to a GP saying your shoulder feels weird to lift and they send you to a radiology place with a slip you get an x ray and pay $0 for all of it.

I got an x-ray of my broken ribs , in 2017 I paid 150$ out of pocket due to confusion with my insurance company. it depends on what type of equipment is used to take the picture.
this is literally how a supervillian is born. A scientific man too ambitious for his own good builds something insane in his garage. youve even got rage as fuel for Your work here. youre just 2/3 of the way there.
great vid! what's really funny about this is the emphasis on radiation whilst working with a high voltage power supply with flimsy exposed wires. like the real risk here is electrocution, not radiation dose.
For a basic image more like half that, really. Assuming it's at a private hospital like the one I worked at, otherwise of course healthcare is just free.
The hospitals have to inflate prices to pay for all the people who don't pay and to play the insurance companies and their rules. The US health insurance companies are out of control. The profit margin for hospitals is almost non-existent, the insurance companies make all the money. Insurance needs to be taken over by the people and the businesses, just like in most countries with successful health care. Obamacare is exactly opposite what should have been done, it pretty much destroyed the middle class.

This is one of those, “it never happened incidents.” Even though no name or location was given, this is how people get caught. Everyone in town probably knows about the vet, but everyone thinks they are the only one. Thats how hush hush that shit is.

The money is for insurance companies. Hospitals request insane amounts of money from the insurance companies. The insurance companies with all the resypurces and an army of accountants and lawyers negotiate for a fraction of the price and then they settle. In cases insurance refuses to pay, the hospitals sends it to the patient hoping to recoup some of the costs. The vast majority of the time, especially if someone is underinsured or has no insurance the hospita is willing to take part of the price because they know that the average person cannot pay the full bill and will eat the losses as a business expense.

Static can be alot more than color noise in images. Electric current and sound can have static. I'd say in the refrence to just the image the dots are static, but to the experiment they are clear confirmation of xray generation and not static.
The sad thing about this is if you broke your arm, took an x-ray and then sent it to a doctor they would not offer you medical assistance pertaining to that image.
then become a doctor and assist yourself
Well yeah because the image quality is dogshit, poor image quality increases the risk of something being missed. They don't want a malpractice suit because of a homemade x-ray LOL
Because there is no way for the doctor to limit their liability at all. So if you x-ray somebody else's arm and lie to the doctor and say it was your arm and the treatment ends up being incorrect because of that then they're still liable for malpractice because you're not a doctor and therefore they shouldn't have trusted you even to do basic things. And even if you sign a waiver saying that you won't hold them responsible for mistakes arising from your own stupidity and malfeasance in providing diagnostic data, when it gets to the courtroom that's worth exactly nothing.

"Why is it arcing?" It's almost like it was submerged in oil for a reason.
Why was it arcing? Who knows, it was bought off ebay and taken apart by a bootleg garage engineer.
Yes the oil would slow down the electrons by colliding with the oil, causing them to aquire a negative charge. Without the oil the electrons are free travel in every direction. The stand of metal cans where just conducting the postive charged xray electrons.
I hope it's from a newer x-ray or that PCBs were never used in dental x-rays.
@@ZeroSpawn Close. Electrons can never have a positive charge. They are always negatively charged by one electron-Volt.
The rest of what you said almost makes sense as a metaphor for what is happening using the mechanics of momentum.
But the actual difference between air and oil in this application is the breakdown voltage. In dry air, the field strength for breakdown is only about 3 kV/mm, whereas in oil-cooled and oil-insulated transformers, it is about 20 kV/mm.
@@ZeroSpawn I just noticed that you called them “positive charged xray electrons”.
Actually, the arcing has almost nothing to do with the X-ray tube. Instead, it is due to the very high voltage from the high voltage power supply.
The X-ray tube has two parts as William mentioned. The filament that emits electrons (basically a light bulb) (also known as the cathode), and a target (anode) that is set to a very high voltage relative to the filament with a high voltage supply.
The strong positive charge of the anode causes the electrons emitted by the cathode to speed over to it and crash into it, generating X-rays on impact. X-rays themselves are not electrons, but rather a form of electromagnetic radiation, like daylight or radio waves or microwaves.

One quick tip, most high voltage tubes want the filament to be on before the high voltage is applied. Otherwise the high voltage can cause the filament to sputter (electrons rip the emissive coating right off the filament as it heats up) reducing its life span. By letting the filament get up to operating temp before applying the high voltage the electrons boil off easier and therefore are much less likely to rip the coating off. Just thought you might want to get the most out of your x-ray tube so it can live long and piss x-rays.

As a UK citizen, it genuinely confuses me how expensive health care is in America obviously in the UK we have the NHS but even if you decide to go private here, I swear it doesn't cost nearly as much as it does in America.
Same here, im a swede and its so weird seeing usa doesnt even have free healthcare
Strange thing, is most Americans seem to want it that way! Don’t want none of that socialism now.
Totally. I have AXA healthcare in the UK, it costs me £128 a month for my entire family.
As an American I can speak from experience. The issue with our medical system is the in group out of group. And the fact that you don't pay based on procedure but based on loads of other things.
You can't call in and get a quote on something and get a clear answer for how much something will costs because they don't know untill they have all of your information.
I like having options of doctors or chosing how much I pay for my insurance, but the fact that I can't get the price of something untill the procedure is done is maddening.
An x-ray should cost the same no matter if I'm insured or not or who my insurance is though.
The worst bit I had was I couldn't go to the doctors for some years because I had government insurance because I didn't make enough to get insurance, and with government insurance I couldn't get into anywhere because the government insurance didn't pay their bills, so no one excepted them. With this I also couldn't pay cash because that was made illegal. I could not get medical treatment because of government regulations that I was told were there to make sure I could. I have now gone years without treatment for a brain tumor because I wasn't allowed to pay cash for medical treatment because the government tried to help me.
This is the reason that I say the government needs to stay out of my medical aside from making it to where insurance can be used everywhere by every medical provider, and that medical procedures have flat costs. An x-ray on my hand shouldn't cost me more because I pay more a month for insurance.
All that and our emergency and urgent care system is over run by people who don't have doctors because they don't have adequate insurance for one reason or another. A major toll in some areas are illigal important who don't have social security numbers and thus can not be billed later, and no human is allowed to be denied life saving services even if they can't pay.
I don't think people should be denied services, but you shouldn't be able to just walk away free because you aren't a citizen.
Thats right illigal immigrants have free Healthcare in America at urgent care locations because they can't be denied service and they can't be tracked later.
It costs so much because everything is corrupt. Just look at our Congress and Senate; greedy and bought out by corporate lobbying. The people who make the rules get more money this way . . .
Pro tip from a person that has been in immense amounts of medical debt several times. Don't pay it, it will go away in like ten years. They'll sell your debt eventually and you can either not answer the calls or tell them the debt isn't valid anymore because you never agreed to anything with the collection agency. It's an annoying seven to ten years usually but it goes away

@@anxietyprimev6983 no just a normal nerd
I am genuinely curious what they would do if they told you you need an x-ray and you said 'no, ill take it myself' and then showed up the next day with your own x-rays
Probably get arrested for dumb reason
Chances are the x-rays just wouldn't be particularly useful, as modern x-rays have very detailed specs on power output, duration, post processing, etc, that this thing could never hit. Like, you could probably diagnose a clean break with this, but modern x-rays at the right settings can tell you so much more
They'd probably say something like 'good luck with that - bye'.....
I've done things... like this. They'll basically say that they can't accept any evidence that wasn't produces in a medical setting. They'll also tell you it's very dangerous.
@@jamesflames6987 and they are correct.
The world of high voltage, where everything is a wire 😂😂
I've had the head of an x-ray twice. The one that I did at a small radiology office was $160, the one that I did at the hospital was $3,200
I don't want to sound like a dick because we still have our own issues in my country just like everyone. But in Australia I've had 6 x rays and never paid for one , it's as easy as going to a GP saying your shoulder feels weird to lift and they send you to a radiology place with a slip you get an x ray and pay $0 for all of it.

"I think everyone should build their own hospital in their garage." Thank you William, since I trust a very smart youtuber like you, I also will build a hospital in my garage now that I know it is safe.
me too. mommy says i can use the garage if i clean up
The kitchen would make for a far more convenient hospital. The operating table is already there, the lighting is likely more adequete than garage lighting, plus you have all sorts of tools such as steak knives and forks for impromptu surgery.

great vid! what's really funny about this is the emphasis on radiation whilst working with a high voltage power supply with flimsy exposed wires. like the real risk here is electrocution, not radiation dose.
Yes
Was expecting you to ask the hospital “what about if I bring my own X-ray machine?”
Thank insurance co and lawyers, and now obummer care for high prices.
Urgent care: “Yh X-rays cost like $300”
The Hospital: “okay but if we multiply this by 230… $69k take it or leave it”
Wtf
in my country they cost like 4dollora
For a basic image more like half that, really. Assuming it's at a private hospital like the one I worked at, otherwise of course healthcare is just free.
The hospitals have to inflate prices to pay for all the people who don't pay and to play the insurance companies and their rules. The US health insurance companies are out of control. The profit margin for hospitals is almost non-existent, the insurance companies make all the money. Insurance needs to be taken over by the people and the businesses, just like in most countries with successful health care. Obamacare is exactly opposite what should have been done, it pretty much destroyed the middle class.
I don't think the leave is an option if you're in a hospital in the us.
to be fair: the x-rays were the least of my worries with that setup
Im here worried something might art to him or some sort of fire would start from an arc.
