Or, to put it another way, the girl in question weighs 5.478 Bossmarks! :D

Ta and I guess I am one of those lucky gits, that know matter how much I drink and eat I never put any weight on. :D

Hey! Lay off the Sun....tis bloody handy for keeping fish and chip suppers warm in :stare:

Yup, guy weighed in at 1200 lbs, 85 stone, 540 kg, or 7.5 bossmarks.

Go figure, his diabetes was out of control.

I used to be that way, a very long time ago.

I watched a show about obese people and one fella's niece had laid out on a big table what this guy would eat in a day. I guess the idea was to shock and/or shame him out of his outrageous eating habits. Huge miss on her part. They show him this table and he promptly dives in. Tell you, a pretty gross sight watching him stuff his face. Now this was what he usually eats in a day and he's trying to chow it all down in one sitting. Finally realized it was too much and he sure looked disappointed with himself for not being up to the challenge. I don't know how much it cost per day to feed this guy but it's certainly more then I could afford working 6 days a week at a pretty decent wage.

well, the man mustve been in the top 11 heaviest people in the world, because only 2 people have weighed in over 1200 pounds.

Source?

I personally know of patients around that weight. Only handled one myself though. I wold think HIPPAA would prevent total reporting of these stats too.

How do you move them with one of these:o

Its called a people mover. It's a large tarp with reinforced straps and handles. Most have reinforced skids on the bottom, just thicker plastic pieces, to slide down stairs and such. Took 12 of us to move that one. You always pity the person pulling from the bottom if they get loose on the stairs.

One 700 lb guy I picked up once out of a trailer, he couldnt fit down the hallway, so we had to cut the end of the the trailer off, reach in with the ladder off the fire truck and use that like a crane.

Another patient was a frequent flyer of ours, she weighed about 600. The truck setup for bariatric work wasn't always available, so one day they send an older truck slated for retirement. Well, as we're rolls the cot into position, with her on it, the front wheels fell through the dy rotted floor. They sent the correct truck next time.
