Gomerblog is sort of like The Onion for people in the medical field.

exoskeleton lifting suits would be my guess for the future.
The "we've got a good lawyer" had me raging. but picturing the scene has me laughing.

Easiest way around that is including a clause in the admissions paperwork that says the hospital reserves the right to protect itself and its workers against preventable injuries via specific equipment and techniques for fat fucks. Too bad if you think it undignifed. At that size, dignity was abandoned long ago.

So presumably that's the lawsuit... Lack of dignified care. Is that a thing? Or am I way off the mark.
I think specialised teams are needed rather than potentially trained medical or emt staff going offline so to speak if they got injured. And yeah, a clause sounds good, but hard to implement I think based on 'discriminasun'

Any fat fuck shouldn't be lifted or moved if they can't move themselves due to their weight. Let them sit somewhere and lose weight until they can be moved.
My friends pick me up all the time, it's so fun! I can't imagine ever gorging so much to the point where that isn't possible anymore. Those porkers are bringing it on themselves.

"families of heavy patients sometimes get upset when they see nurses hoisting their loved ones out of bed like a side of beef."
Well what the fuck do you expect us to do with these fat sacks of shit?! I'm 5 foot 1 and 110 pounds. I'm not injuring myself for some pig that should be left to die out in the wilderness somewhere! As a nurse, this triggers me lol

Sure, seeing someone hoisted on heavy duty equipment is upsetting, but watching a nurse literally breaking her back trying to lift a 200 lbs leg is totally fine. Got it.

Pretty much. Its all 'bout the fatties. They pretty much don't care about everyone else or their health.
