Especially dangerous if they have some sort of spinal/neck injury right?

I'm on a weightloss journey and thankfully I've lost over 60lbs. I still plan to lose more. I have no excuses, but to better myself. I don't consider it a diet. it's a lifestyle change and as long as I keep that mentality Ik I'll be okay and keep moving towards my goal.

I took care of a patient who was well over 500 pounds. I will NEVER forget this man, or his name. He had had a GI bleed, and was admitted for it. When he was discharged home, he was on the toilet, when he saw the bleeding started up again. He called 911, who sent 2 small EMTs to get him. They stood him up, and his ankle broke, because of his weight. I worked in ortho at the time, so he was admitted under us. He was taking nurses out DAILY-back, shoulder, wrist injuries. I caught his wife spoon feeding him, and I thought I was going to lose my mind. Unbelievable.

We have a real life (as in not staged) ambulance show in Germany and they were called for a very obese lady and had to carry her down the stairs with 6 people, which I thought was bad enough. Another man was so obese they just couldn't get him out the door/down the stairs so they had to lift him with a crane through the window. It was done with so much respect for the person but I thought this has to be the most humiliating feeling ever. 🥺

Not emergency services but was a carer for dementia patients and you have to get clever to move people safely. Actually had an incident where a neighbour who at the time weighed approximately 400-500lbs and was immobile and had fallen. They were too embarrassed to call paramedics, but they called their neighbour who came to get my husband and I and were able to safely move them using a bedsheet and small movements. (I did advise them to call paramedics before moving them but they refused). They ended up losing a bunch of weight and became mobile and taken off oxygen. super proud.

How awesome is it? So we live in a country and in a time in history. We're all dying of eating so plentifully. the number one problem for all human history was starving. To death. if anybody from more than a 100 years ago, heard that this was our big problem. Their heads would explode

that "Ambulance Driver" 🇨🇦 :
it certainly makes running an arrest MUCH easier when the person is that weight... call the ER Dr. and explain the situation including extrication complications and BOOM... termination of resuscitation

I lost 60 pounds. At my largest I was 200 pounds and thought what if a healthcare provider hurt themselves or relative helping me.

My neighbor had to have a hole cut out of the side of his house on the 2nd floor because he couldn’t fit down the stairs. Used a crane to get him down to the ambulance

I’ve seen this question asked a bunch and consistently fire is the only service that just chills out and goes “we’ll figure it out”

I commend firefighters and emergency responders. My father was not a small man and he had to be evacuated one time from an apartment building down several flights of stairs. The fireman had a protocol and they followed it and they got them out very quickly and safely.

My brother worked on the bariatric unit. They have special tech and stuff that can handle the weight and help them not get crushed in the process.

My heaviest patient to date was 1100 pounds. One of our local departments literally will pull the cot out and transport these patients on the floor of the ambulance.

We don’t train it per se but you definitley learn to adapt to it and it’s one thing you learn by pounding the streets and getting put in that situation. 500lbs patient stuck between the wall and his waterbed, fire straight up cut the side of the guys house open and rolled him onto the grass.
