He's got what he thinks is an infection in his nuts. He had something similar a few years ago and after a few days huffing and puffing took himself off the the doctors, had a scan and some antibiotics and it was put down to an infection. He's got the same symptoms now. He's going to talk to the Dr in the morning. But here's the thing. We have an out of hours dr service here, second to none (Scandinavia). He could call up now and speak to a Dr. He could get advice. If they thought there was a need, they would have him come in to the out of hours dr service at the local hospital 10 minutes drive away. We are not stretched medically here and resources are rich. He's refusing to even ring them to discuss it. Meanwhile, he's got himself a polly bag and has gone out and filled it with snow to put on his nuts to cool them down. So now I have a night of him tossing and turning ahead of us. I know this isn't AIBU but seriously, am I to think he could just ring the feckin' ooh number and speak with them?

Yes this is really pointless. A bag of snow indeed. 
I mean, your poor DH, but why suffer. Why make you suffer more importantly.
It's very wrong on many levels but I can't help but picture the scene. DH wearing the dressing gown of doom, nut deep in a bag of snow...
Hope he is ok. The pain must be snow joke. 
Glad to hear antibiotics are working.
DP is fine & makes jokes about his "bouncy ball" replacement 
obviously having found (literally) 1st hand it's a warning to any men that it may not be harmless.
It's not common but I think often it's not picked up because it generally affects younger men & they tend to not go to the doctor and just moan instead
