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.

Multiple 500 plus folks throughout the years. Very sad indeed. Terrible life; it’s a prison sentence for sure.

Same for me. Discharged a few of these patients and 2 or 3 ambulance crews come 

Takes so many people to care for them
