Call a flatbed next time...fattie

fuck the fat bastards. let em die before we bother, then leave it up to someone who can afford to handle disposing of the lard in an environmentally friendly way and ISNT a government agency to deal with it.

we did a job bid on a floor for a woman who hadn't been out of her basement in years. yeah the floor had caved in under the bathtub. we threw an unreal bid just to get the hell out of there. the sound of smacking jowels never stopped while we were there.

Co-worker: Have you met him\her before? how do you know they are fat? You only spoke to them once over the phone?
Me: Sometimes you just know.

Buddy of mine was a life flight paramedic and we had a friend who was 525 (but 6'7" and moved pool tables but still fat). He told him that he'd let him on board if he could chop 225lbs off his body. I think LF has a 300lb limit.

I wonder how much money you could make if you started a ambulance program for fat people...

Funny you mention the skycrane. I was thinking that the LifeFlight helicopters cannot possibly haul someone weighing nearly 1000lbs. They would need a heavy lift helicopter on standby just for fat fucks.

I'm intrigued.. this is a possible win as far as get rich quick schemes go considering how many of them are out there. Or if nothing else a field with room for expansion.. ha.. no pun intended.

inflatable hospital service, with gourmet catering. Why go through the hassle of cutting holes in the wall when i bring the hospital to you?

I think height matters too. Life Flight helicopters are very small (considering you have a laid out person paramedic/doc and a nurse with a pilot and co pilot. My buddy did a Prom/DUI skit that had life flight come out and took him for a ride. He was 6'1" 200lbs and they kept beating his legs in to shut the door.

NJchopper - Would be a good idea but I'm worried about the increased liability of having fat people. Dealing with fat people is much more tricky for medical personel and you have to specialize in all fat people on the verge of death. Sounds like lawsuit city.

I've also entertained the idea of a motorcycle paramedic. Such as a BMW GS with basic life supporting medical supplies that will allow a trained paramedic to get through shitty traffic and keep a person going until the ambulance got there. But it'd be extremely hard to make money I think. Too much paperwork and grey areas of who did what and who should get paid considering the Ambulance would be the main key of saving a person's life.

I'm 6'6" 220 lbs (and gaining) and I've been hauled off in a chopper (because I was actually dying, not in a skit). IIRC, though, there was no door to close, and I was sorta hanging off the side of the bird.

My thought is this- if you weigh over 500 pounds and you're less than seven feet tall, fuck you. The ambulance crews should not be responsible for picking your fat ass up. If you really wanted to live, you wouldn't be morbidly obese.
