Paralympian who only has one leg reveals his health insurance company sent a nurse to his house over fears he is 'malnourished' - because his 'weight is dangerously low' for his height
2022-04-16
  • Josh Sundquist, 37, from Santa Monica, California, got plenty of laughs from his social media followers when he shared a video of himself looking confused

  • He explained in the on-screen text that his health insurance company sent a nurse to his house because his body weight is 'dangerously low' for his height

  • Sundquist had his left leg amputated when he was nine after being diagnosed with a rare form of bone cancer and given a 50 per cent chance of survival

  • In a follow-up clip, he recalled his conversation with the nurse, saying she asked if he was eating enough even though the explanation for his weight was obvious

  • Things only got more awkward when the comedian shared that he had two knee surgeries and the nurse asked: 'On which knee?'

  • The videos have received millions of views and inspired others to share their own awkward health insurance mishaps
