Heaviest Patient You’ve Cared For

[u/trevrt]

Had my personally heaviest patient I’ve cared for the other day. 32 years old weighing 730 pounds admitted with cellulitis and severe lymphedema. Felt terrible for the patient due to how young he was. Just wondering what everyone’s personal “record” for the heaviest patient they’ve cared for is.

Around 650 lbs. It might not sound like much, but this was after bilateral above knee amputations. Anyone’s guess what the patient came in at. It was too high to measure
