Joshua Bassett Gives a Health Update Saying He Feels “Much Better”

In January 2020, Joshua posted a video on Instagram of himself from the ER in a hospital bed. Giving a peace sign and smiling to the camera, he captioned it saying that he had been experiencing an “unknown, uncomfortable feeling” that would end up being so serious he would need emergency surgery. 

“After an unknown, uncomfortable feeling turned into, times 10, the worst pain of my life, i figured i’d just try to sleep,” the caption reads. “After multiple, very very ugly days and nights, i had no choice today but be taken to the hospital.”

Josh goes on to say that he had his first surgery that night but didn’t say how many he would need going forward. He also doesn’t say exactly what’s wrong with him, but at the end of the caption, he says the doctor gave him the medal for being “the sickest patient in the hospital.”
