What is Fat?

Michael Moore is fat. Lots of people have commented on it. It really doesn’t matter if he’s fat or thin since he is also a noted shader of the truth. But, he’s fat.

As an EMT, I have to wonder if he’d fit on my gurney. Rural Metro has a “Fatmobile” we can special call with a furniture dolly. But, shit, I’m not sure he’d fit in my ambulance.

Of course, all EMT’s know that he’ll have the big one as high up in the building as he can get. Some poor SOB’s are going to have to try to carry him down several narrow flights of stairs. “Can you walk?” “Have you tried?”

You’re fat when the defibrillator won’t work properly because there’s too much you between its pads and your heart. As for chest compressions. Don’t even… I don’t think it would be possible.

Heart disease, diabetes, bad knees and feet, and sex, never think about sex again.

Can’t find a vein to start an IV. Can’t feel a pulse because there’s too much FAT.

And, NO, WE DON’T CARRY ANYTHING THAT YOU CAN EAT!
