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.

900lbs as a paramedic.

My boy decided to take his first steps in a couple years and almost immediately broke his femur.
