Ever wondered how paramedics get fatties on their gurneys? So I was at a Brazilian restaurant and made friends with a Thai paramedic shitlord and he's a small skinny guy but that's alright because at least he's human. He told me that he does indeed deal with bariatric patients and that he works in Baton Rogue in Louisiana where there's an abundance of fat people there. One story he told me and my friends was that he had a call to deal with a 900 pound man (HOW THE FUCK IS THAT EVEN POSSIBLE?!) and that it took a minimum of four people including himself just to move him. In his case, it was two swole dudes and another skinny dude with him. They found the porker on his bed so to him, it was relatively easy because all they had to do was stand at the corners of the mattress and lift him on his bedsheet to the reinforced gurney right next to him before rolling him out into the ambulance and dropping him off at the hospital. Sadly, according to what the Thai guy said, there are no bariatric hospitals in the town unlike the bigger cities like Houston does. He also stated that in most cases when getting emergency calls involving bariatric patients, they're usually falls so whenever they see a fat person laying on the floor struggling, they would just position the gurney next to them and roll them over onto it and roll them into the ambulance. And here's the fun part. The Thai guy said he didn't keep track of how long it took to deal with one bariatric patient but he stated that it usually takes more than half-an-hour just to wheel the fatty from their homes into the ambulance to make sure they do not accidentally injure them. Not to mention, they have to hook up oxygen tanks onto them as well. Compare that to a human patient of transporting them from home to ambulance and that usually takes much less than ten minutes to get the job done. Ever wondered how paramedics transport fatties from home to the ambulance? Now you know.
