re: Overweight healthcare providers

One of the smartest ICU nurses I ever worked with was about 6 ft.tall and I would guess 400 lbs.She took very good care of her patients but the poor woman struggled her last few years.Least exertion and she would be short of breath and beads of sweat on her forehead.I expected her to collapse and die at work someday but she never did.She eventually did die of heart failure in her early 60’s.
