I've had to deal with a manipulative fat at work myself, though in a completely different field.
I never expected that someone so pathetic could be such a massive liar, just to further their own ego.
Never trust the fats.

I'm surprised they took her claims seriously. Where I was, the word of a PT like that would be seriously questioned, otherwise we'd have practitioners written up every week for not giving addicts their daily dose of percocet.

That is incredibly stupid. Luckily she has a job that's very in-demand and things like that are easily swept under the rug if they need bodies. Where I am patient satisfaction takes a back seat to actual treatment. You don't go to the ER and tell the doctor what to prescribe you.

Fat SJW's are basically getting a carte blanche against anyone they target these days. And the only reason is because fat people now outnumber normal people 2 to 1. They have the upper hand, and their gonna use it to bring us all down to their fat, lazy, self-hating level.

There needs to be a better procedure for this. When a patient is obese, the triage process should be different simply because you are dealing with the mentally ill. Different procedures apply to the mentally ill, the agitated, the violent, etc.
I can see how simply writing down the weight given by someone mentally ill, or just guessing it -- however good that guess is -- could lead to a million different problems down the road including legal ones. There should be a standard, floor-flat cattle scale upon which they can waddle onto, or be wheeled in a gurney or wheelchair.

We need a weight activated trap door installed into every ER. Fatties get automatically dumped into a giant ball pit below. When they have lost enough weight to escape then they can return the hospital to address condishuns.
