440 pound man stuck in his house
Out of Australia this morning from OfficialWire:
A morbidly obese man had to be removed from his Melbourne house with a forklift in a medical rescue that took almost four hours. More than 15 paramedics and firefighters were involved in the delicate removal of the 200-kilogram man (440 pounds) from his home in Essendon yesterday afternoon. Ambulance Victoria spokesman Paul Bentley said paramedics were called about 4pm after the man in his 50s developed breathing problems.
Older people in my life worry about paramedics being able to get into a locked house. Imagine adding this worry.
