In the same news bulletin I heard a story about ambulances having to be reinforced. 5 years ago the average patient weighed 12- 13 stone. Now the average is 17 - 20 stone. Some woman who weighs nearly 30 stone was interviewed and said how cross she was that the wheelchair and stretcher were uncomfortable on her way to hospital and when she go there they made her walk along lots of long corridors until she was out of breath. The whole interview she was making it sound as though the hospital were being totally unreasonable even though she is the one who must have eaten a few too many Dairy Milks to get to 30 stone!

And Nic, I realise it wasn't your point, just one I made. About your point, it is quite tragic the amount of food we get for the money now, but then it reflects exactly the financial problems this country is in. Last edited by missyburd; 03-02-11 at 12:34 PM. |

1 of my friends says she despises fat people like that, and were not talking about people who are a bit chubby or "cuddly" she means the 1s who are a danger to shipping, they beep when they back up.
Her thinking is that being 25st+ shows you are greedy, lazy and too stubborn to admit you have a problem. When I think of the £m spent on caring for these people on the NHS, I kind of have to agree with her To any really obese people who may be reading, sorry.....please don't eat me

You may be suprised at how low the threshold actually is for being classed as "morbidly obese". |

I'm listening to radio 2 atm, they are discussing the issues concerning the lifting of clinically obese patients, paramedics and health workers having difficulty with stretchers and lifting equipment and the pouring of more money into better equipping hospitals and ambulances. Clinical obesity is a big issue on this country, end of. Please don't think I'm "picking on fat people", good grief far from it. I just think it's a very serious issue and I don't see why we should tiptoe around the subject (sorry I appear to have gatecrashed your thread about expensive choc MBK...
