When Fatlogic goes way too far... I don't want to delve too much into detail. I work in a hospital but thank god I don't do clinical. However, I have seen and heard things. But when it comes to bariatric patients, which we deal with rarely thank god, its always something real bad. But that doesn't change the fact that according to statistics, the average patient in America is younger and fatter these days. And of course, they always have some psychiatric history of some sort. But this one is interesting. My friend is a nurse who got into an argument with a bariatric patient. So it went something on the lines of this. Fatass Patient: I don't want surgery to lose weight it will hurt me! My body hurts and I asked you to focus on the real issues of my pain first which was from walking! I am not walking! Nurse: The doctor ordered you to walk and you will walk or you're gonna die! Fatass Patient: I wanna go home right now! I feel much safer at home than I do here! I demand it as my right! Nurse: The doctor wants you to complete your treatment plans here first because the person who lives with you is an enabler. Fatass Patient: Fuck you bitch! I only came here because my legs hurt and you're telling me to lose weight or die? I rather die knowing that I'm being loved than to go through hell! Heck, I rather just live at home with my lover because its much better than being forced to go to work! At least I have a much less likelihood of getting shot by some stranger in public at work than at home! Nurse: You'll suffocate under your weight. You need to move and lose the weight! Fatass Patient: I rather die at home than to risk dying at work. I hate it when people tell me to lose weight and force me to work! I am a social media influencer and I rather make money from home than to be a slave of society! People like you take the risk of getting into car accidents or getting shot in public. Me, I want to stay at home, work on my Instagram at least, and spread positivity. And you will not cut my Medicare off; I deserve it as a human right! Nurse: Fine. Once we discharge you for noncompliance, we don't want you here again! Fatass Patient: Noncompliance? More like not conforming to what society thinks its healthy because fuck what society thinks! My body, my choice! My lover knows how to care for me better than any of you put together! Pretty much according to this fat fuck, being a fat lazy leech on welfare with crippling disabilities is a better way to live than to go to work and risk being shot by a stranger. Apparently, living such a life is also better than even going outside to festivals because suffering under obesity-related conditions and living with constant pain is better than being shot out in public. Apparently, dying from obesity is more dignified than being shot by an active shooter because they think dying with an enabler means dying knowing one has been loved. This kind of fatlogic and death has gone too far. The people who were killed in active shooting are usually those living their best lives exploring life. With fats, they may be alive but they are not living. Something to note that more Americans die from obesity than they do from gun-related deaths and work-related deaths combined. Unlike the later two, death from obesity is long and painful; a living crippling death sentence if you will. But these days, according to HAESers, being fat means living life because they get to eat "good food" even though life is way more than just that. I just don't know how to convince the majority that obesity is crippling since most fatties would rather buy a reinforced scootypuff than to spend time eating less.
