Fat Ambulance

News story about Canada's first "Bariatric Response Team" with an ambulance capable of transporting people weighing anywhere between 400-1000 pounds. Unfortunately when they arrive at the hospital I'd bet they'll still have a hard time finding a CT or MRI machine geared up for their "largess".

Remember that Scrubs episode where they thought about bringing their larger patient to the zoo for an MRI? How horrible would that be?

Sadly, the laws of physics do not obey our societal laws of political correctness. Even if you can get images of them, they tend to be sh1thouse. It's just physics.
