Enablers Shouldn't be Allowed to Visit Obese Patients. So I've posted a few things on here about being in the hospital across from this gross, 500-600 lb thing. There was one beside me too, but he got transferred hospitals or moved to a different ward, so now there's a nice, normal weight old lady beside me that plays eye spy with me sometimes. But fatty boom boom over there is still abusing the hell out of everyone here. I don't know why they don't just kick him out like seriously.  But anyway, there has been a reoccurring problem with him since he first got in here. The only reason he is in the respiratory ward and not the cardiology wing is because he needs some sort of special "machine". This machine, I really don't know much of the medical stuff, but apparently it's like a really powerful breathing machine, one that practically breathes for him. From what I've heard, (and I don't know) I think it's called a BiPAP machine. Kind of like a CPAP but stronger or something. Supposed to really only be used for nighttime or patients with like a really severe condition. And it can only be used, or is only available in the respiratory ward for like, people who need it all day and all night. The problem is that the doctors really want to move him in order to: a) clear up room and  b) use the machine for people who desperately need it (like elderly people). The doctors have tested his oxygen levels and CO2 levels without the special machine and just with a regular oxygen. His oxygen levels stayed in a healthy range. But the obeast started panting and freaking out that he couldn't breathe, causing a huge commotion until they put the machine back on him. So the doctors and nurses have been doing everything they can to get him off this machine. They have been telling him the machine isn''t good for him long term (because it like sucks on your face and causes sores), they have been asking him to just try using normal oxygen for small periods at a time, but nothing seemed to be working. That is until the other day. This guys mom is by his side from 8 in the morning until like 8 at night every. single. day. But the other day she was sick (probably from being elderly and in a hospital every day) and the doctors told her they strongly recommend she stay out of the ward as to not infect other patients with low immune systems. So for one day fatty didn't have his enabler mom to bring him doughnuts. But there was something else I noticed too. See, when the planet has to eat, he eats by him mom cutting up his pizza or sausages into little pieces. He takes his special mask off, takes a bite, swallows, and quickly puts the mask back on. So basically his mom spoon feeds him. So when his mom wasn't there, and he received his first meal, he called in the nurse to help him eat. The nurse went to talk to the doctor, and the doctor came in and told him that if he wanted to eat everything, that he had to take the mask off, put in a nose breathing tube, and eat his food himself.  I have never seen a face scrunch up like his!!!! He was so pissed off but he knew he couldn't do anything! He had to literally choose between admitting he doesn't actually need the machine, and stuffing his face full of shit. He tried making arguments that they can't let him starve blah blah blah but they told him they were just giving him a decision, and he wasn't in any danger by taking the mask off. Of course though, he chose the food. They took off his mask, gave him a nose thing, and he ate his food. But definitely ate less compared to when his mother was there. When his mother came back, they told her that he ate without his special machine, and she was so happy that she is now making him continue to take the machine off every time he eats.  Just a couple things blow my mind. One thing is that this guy...no....this thing...is so lazy that it is willing to take away a respiratory spot and machine from people who NEED it, just because he is too damn lazy to breathe by himself. Second, all of this came from one day without his enabler mother. He ate less and he started using his machine less. Why hospitals allow enablers in there is beyond me. Like imagine if someone was in the hospital for drinking bleach, and one of their family members came in every day and brought them a cup of bleach to drink. I'm pretty sure they would be removed from the hospital. How is this any freaking different? Third, good for the doctor and nurses for finally standing up to the planet.  I really feel like I could write a book about all this. TL;DR Obeast patient loses enabler mother for a day, eats less and cooperates more with doctors.
