This is the ONLY REASON people will accept medi-cal / denti-cal. They can treat their bariatric patients like shit. Why? NO ONE ELSE ACCEPTS IT. So you can tell them they are fat, lazy, need to brush more, need to lose weight, etc, because who do they complain to? Medical? Ha. Try getting someone on the phone who gives a shit, let alone answers.

Preach it. I looked after a megabeast in residency and it was so fat, the automatic scale built into the bed was giving us an "Err" message. My idiot preceptor wanted to have it weighed daily and was about to order that when I said "You can't do this to our nurses." The beast "reckon'd" it weighed 'round 300 lbs when the automatic scale topped out at 450, so we knew it had to be more than that for sure to make the scale conk out. Keep up the good work, those of us doctors with half a brain know how much it fucking sucks for you guys to look after these monstrosities.

Edit: the daily weighing would've involved the nurses getting this beast off the bed into some sort of chair and hauling it into the basement to use the industrial scale in our hospital physical plant, then hauling it back up. Being conservative and assuming the beast was "only" 500 lbs, that would've been 125 lbs per nurse for 4 staff - that's the equivalent of one nurse picking up an average-sized old lady patient on their own, which would never be acceptable.

Is it just me or does feeding obese people when they are in a hospital seem a little weird? It's like giving booze to an alcoholic or drugs to a junkie, when they are in the hospital, which of course would never happen.

This is exactly why I went into pediatrics instead of adults. Fuck the fats, I can't even pretend to care about their self-induced medical conditions.

It most really suck for shitlord/lady nurses because there are also tons of fat nurses for some stupid reason, and you presumably have to pick up the slack for them. I hope you don't mess up your back!

I don't know why I clicked the illustrations so early in the am, but I salute you for having the fortitude to endure this. I don't understand a dude getting so fat he loses his dick. I'm married to a man & have 2 boys, & their dicks are insanely important to them. I doubt there's anything they would pick over access to their dick :/

I have a lot of respect for nurses and EMTS. You guys get the butt of all the shit. You do the heavy lifting (pun intended) and have to hear the bad end of the whale mouth. The hospital system and medical health care system as a whole needs to change. They need to stop catering horribly to these eatbeasts at the cost of their own medical residents and taxpayer dollars.

The problem is they literally cant. Almost 70% of the population is fat, so if a hospital refused to cater to the majority of patients they'd be shut down unfortunately
