They just can't stop eating Hello gang As I've said before, I'm a PA-C in the Midwest. A patient of mine, who was spectacularly huge, finally took my advice a few months back and went to her bariatric consult. She, by all counts, did well with her diet, exercise and therapy regimens, and thus received bariatric surgery about three weeks ago. She was scheduled to show up for a follow-up appointment with me but didn't show up. Our staff called her home, and alas, she has rolled away to the great Old Country Buffet in the sky. It ends up right after being discharged, she made her son stop at McDonald's, where she ordered and ate six Big Mac meals, consumed them, and was dead before her son could drive her five blocks to the hospital. Blew every stitch and staple and bled to death. Hope the faux food feast was worth it.
