Just complain about her not doing her fair share and leave the weight aspect out of it, to avoid piggering the obese manager.

This. Point out how if your workload is continually being added to toy won't be able to do the job properly.

I’m afraid the manager is going to be useless anyway; I’m not going to go into the specifics of my job but basically getting rid of someone in this field is nearly impossible because it’s hard to find a replacement. She can be suspended if she makes a serious error (as in, kills a patient or cause serious harm) but I sure would not wish that on anybody. It’s up to me to figure this out.

See if you can frame her incompetence as an issue which greatly increases the risk of you injuring yourself.
Even retard middle managers tend to understand the concept of risk mitigation with regard to workers comp lawsuits.

Being a fat is a symptom of a lot of mental disorders and neuroises.
I've worked in IT for over 2 decades and 95% of the non-technical issues stem from fats and their personal problems.
If anything we're lucky cause it's a huge, unavoidable sign that you shouldn't associate with this person. But thanks to today's PC "Everyone's Fucking Awesome" bullshit these people - who for all intents-and-purposes should be in clinics or circuses - are allowed to waddle around like normies.

Yes, leave the weight aspect out of it and make it about you. "It just seems to take longer somehow when we work together. My family's been laying on the guilt lately, so I'm trying to get home earlier." Or something similar that puts the blame on you in a way she can't really get mad about. Especially if SHE'S already bringing family into it to try to make YOU feel guilty.

Yes, that’s good. I have to keep her weight or even her personally out of it somehow. Something along the lines of, ‘I find that we are such a relaxed team, we take our time when we work together. Time flies when you’re having fun, eh?’ And then add the family piece.

why sugar coat it? there is no HR for her to complain to either.... just let her feelings get hurt.
Tell her that when we work together I end up having to do everything and it takes me twice as long to finish and I don't want to spend all night here.
boom.
You are under no obligation to use her, right, so just call it like it is. If you make up something else then you will never resolve this and you will ALWAYS be in this situation.

I'm curious about your situation - I've been a hiring & firing manager many times, including a union house. How is it that you not asking her for help affects her money? Is it that her employee code won't be on the patient file & she won't get commission/ credit?
If that's the case, tough on her. If she wants the money badly enough, she'll hustle.
And, following, if I were in that situation & I still was a nice person & not a bitchy bitch like I am now, I would just tell her:" hey, I try to help you work with me, but I need [particular thing A] and [particular thing B] when I ask for help."
Pick 2 things that you need help with, but make them things you'd ask a clone of you to do, not 2 easy, dumbed down things you think she'd be capable of. This is crucial - and if possible, email them or write down a record of that conversation.
You've thusly established what you need her to do to help, specifically & in writing. If she can't or won't, bring that to your supervisor. Ham or not, something will be done about Fat Slug co-worker.
Sorry for the novel :(

We are self-employed so basically yes, she can only bill our payment agency for the work she’s done (or I did for her but she was technically there so her name goes on the patient’s chart so she gets the full amount). We don’t have a supervisor, that’s the problem...we get contracted out and the person who signs the contract doesn’t have any power to tell us how to work nor does she really give a shit. Plus she is overweight herself. We are accountable to our professsional College so that’s about it. Being a softie, I tried giving her other duties to perform, like paperwork, or patient education where you can just basically sit there but my back wasn’t happy about that. Then I got mad and stepped back to let her do what she’s supposed to but everything just took so long and when you are tired and want to get the heck out, the last thing you want to see is a fatty waddling down the hallway looking for a wheelchair or something. So I stopped calling her altogether and she’s genuinely not understanding why I’m suddenly ‘mad at her’. If I tell her the truth, it’s going to be tears and ‘discrimination’. See, it’s all effe’d up.

Oh ugh, that is a mess! No wonder you're so frustrated. I guess it's not possible to make her quit?
[–] Kraeik ago
it isn't discrimination though. just because she says it is does not make it true. You are allowed to not like someone and not want to utilize them while you work.
Leave the weight aspect out of the conversation and just make it all about the truth, you do not care for her work output and you have concerns about the quality of work that is performed when she is with you as well as the length of time it takes to complete work when she is with you.
If she deduces that it has something to do with her weight then that is on her. You never said anything about that.
