Doctors tell woman she's too fat for X-ray machine, send her to local zoo

"It's humiliating. I was told if elephants and hippos need MRIs, they have the equipment at the Bronx Zoo. It was like I was an animal," Walters told the Post.

Wow....

no biggie :p


obviously if she was too big she was too big.

she should be happy that the zoo could help or she would be endangered

:D

Hehehe, the funny thing is, the zoo can't help her though!!

For the record, the Bronx Zoo told the Post it gets about a dozen such calls a year but it doesn't have such facilities for its animals.

that was exactly what I was going to post.
I think that woman should be more concern about her weight, because not only will produce backache, but there are a lot of other effects too

I worked at a large hospital and once we had a guy so huge we had to weigh him on the scales at shipping & receiving dock.

I weight myself in the scale we use for paper rolls too (and those are extremely heavy)
(but I do this because it is a digital scale and can change between pounds and kilos :p)
