Letter from RN Disgusted with Obesity

Dear My Fat Spouse,

I need to vent...not about a fat spouse but of fat patients.

I'm a nurse and work in a hospital. I LOVE helping people and enjoy my job. Yet, having to take care of patients that weight 400-600pds is so extremely exhausting, not only physically but mentally!!

Most of these patients are so manipulating and selfish, but most of all LAZY! They don't want to move a muscle...but demands that we move their legs, arms, roll them over, etc.

It's unbelievable how lazy they are! My patient last night wouldn't even lift up his arm to take a drink of water, and yes, he is very able to raise his arms...he does all the time to eat!

And the smell is horrible! My co-worker had to leave the room to gag and throw up because the odor from his crotch area was so overwhelmingly disgusting...and the sight was ten times as worse!

How can these people except anyone to have sex with them when they can't or won't even wipe their own a$$!

These people are ssoooo demanding...on the call light every 5 minutes...whining around..wanting attention.

Morbidly obese people are not only a hardship on their families...they are a hardship on most everyone around them!

It's as if they think the world owes them something because they are too fat and lazy to help themselves.

Good Grief!!

Thanks for listening!

Sincerely,

Rachel the RN
