Fun fact I learned yesterday: morbidly obese people who need X-rays are sent to Sea World

A buddy of mine in med school learned this in class yesterday apparently... couldn't find anything on it but this article.

Imagine being that fat. I would have to re-evaluate some things in my life if I needed a whale X-ray machine.

Seaworld or the nearest zoo. They do X-rays and MRIs on the fatties that way.

Are they, in fact, big boned?

Don’t fat shame Shamu!

I knew a guy who's brother was so fat they took him to a truck scale to weigh him.

They weigh them on those interstate truck scales.

I learned that from an episode of Scrubs, although I think they used the zoo

Or they send them to the local Zoo, had patients go for CTs, etc

Or the Houston zoo for CT scan. Fact.
Eta: I always enjoyed telling a patient they would need to be tranferred to the Houston zoo for their CT scan.

There are limits to designing for cost effective public use by humans vs animal populations. Wanna graze like a cow or hippo? Be prepared to seek out the equipment used on hippos and cows then.

He may be an a-hole about it, but he isn't wrong.
The American populace needs to lose weight, and a lot of it. I'd love to see the numbers ran on what costs more when comparing the homelessness issue to preventable medical procedures.
What a waste.

oh man, I just spit coffee everywhere when I clicked your link and read this: quote:
'We are going to have to send you to the zoo,' doctors tell obese patients too large to fit in hospital scanners
Damn, that caught me by surprise. Probably not even that funny, I just was NOT expecting that to be in big bold letters at the top of the article.

Audubon does not allow it any longer AFAIK (this was last year I ran into that dilemma).

Walk by them without a mask and they are upset you don’t care about their health/safety from
Covid.

Yo momma so fat, she gotta see Shamu’s Dr. for an X-Ray
Posted on 7/15/21 at 8:35 am to VolsOut4Harambe
I had a CT scan a couple of months back. When I was lying there I was thinking there were people that could not fit in this machine.
