    300kg lump removed through house wall

    Australia wastes healthcare and emergency service resources on these gluttonous bloaters too

    'He never left the house': Neighbours say Sydney man, 36, who weighed more than 300kg, sat alone in a chair and had not been seen outside for 18 months as rescuers reveal he had to be 'slid out of the front of the house on his back'

    I have no sympathy for these idle gluttons.

    No doubt the State were paying for his 20,000 calories a day.

    There are people dying of hunger in this world through no fault of their own !

    Me too.

    As a nurse I have had to help move 30 stone plus patients. We now have specialist gantry hoists and specialist beds to cope with bariatric patients.

    I have seen the prevalence of these patients increase. I can understand with some disease processes that people get overweight but this is extreme and it puts a huge strain on the staff that care for them. Many go off sick with injuries like strained backs.

    They need more care input taking away 3 or 4 staff members to help so leaving the rest of the ward short.

    And family members bring them in huge takeaways that they eat as well as the hospital food.

    Also if a patient is bariatric and requires specialist equipment, we have to close the bed space next to them so we lose a bed for someone else who needs it.
