Member 539, 1086 posts | Post Edited: 14.01.2010 @ 14:34 PM by goodwinm Source: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/suffolk/8459239.stmA man who weighs 53 stone (336kg) has been moved to hospital to undergo specialist medical treatment. A specially-built ambulance designed for obese patients was used to transport 48-year-old Paul Mason from his home in Ipswich. It is understood he has been taken to St Richard's Hospital in Chichester, West Sussex, more than 140 miles away, for gastric bypass surgery. Mr Mason weighed 70 stone (444kg) at his heaviest. Removed by forklift A spokesman for East of England Ambulance Service said: "While our ambulances can deal with the majority of the population we serve, we sometimes need to call on partner services which provide vehicles to move patients who exceed 25 to 30 stone. "St John Ambulance is one of the companies which we work in partnership with for this specialist service. "We respond to calls for help irrespective of an individual's physical circumstances and will adopt the most appropriate means of transport for that patient's needs." A St John Ambulance Service spokesman said: "St John Ambulance regularly works with NHS Suffolk and likewise is committed to ensuring patient confidentiality and providing the highest level of clinical patient care. "In Suffolk, St John Ambulance operates a commercial transport service in support of the NHS specialising in bariatric ambulance transport." When he needed hospital treatment in 2002, Mr Mason had to be taken from his home by forklift through a window which had been removed. Just how the f**k do you get to 70 odd stone!? I mean really. f**k me. Must be a mixture of obsession/ addiction and depression. Christ. | ||

But i guess the body adapts to the constantly rising bodyweight and makes it easier, especially with no exercise. Ah well. Just quite terrible to see really and upsetting how some people end up like this, not saying it aint their fault at all but it is sickening to be at such a weight you can't even wipe your own arse. | ||

I think if you are clinically obese you can apply for disability and incapacity? if that is right 90% of us on here could get more cash. May as well since we pay tax for it for everyone else! | ||

Let him just eat himself to death? Sounds harsh but why the f**k not? If this fat c**t doesn't want to even bother trying to lose weight and improve his health, then why should we foot the bill? I guess some people never learn. Edit: I have some extremely fat relatives and friends who are just as bad. Not at the forklift point but certainly at the mobility scooter stage. | ||
