As an EMT, I feel so bad for the poor souls who had to get him out of his house, into the squad and to the hospital and then back again. People this large don't take into account how their choices literally break the backs of the people who care for them
I've had several jobs, one of them being mortuary transport. Fortunately in most cases it only requires a couple people to transport (especially when reporting from a residence to transport someone to the mortuary). One of my cases was 800 pounds and it took our entire staff of six just to get him on the gurney and into the van and after arriving at the mortuary, I told the staff I needed more people because of the decedent's size (most of the time we'd drop decedents off after hours so sometimes I didn't have help...yes it's an odd industry). When I saw the staff moving him, I felt that.
Lack of movement, an over-reliance on cars, cheap very low nutrition fast food, stagnant wages and long work hours that keep poorer people stuck on fast food out of convenience. It becomes a feedback loop that moves from generation to generation.
The mother is abusing her daughter by taking her out of school to take care of James! I don't understand why that family keeps feeding him! That family is so toxic!
Yeah....I don't get it....why do some folks....huge...normal..or smaller think that it's justifying having a diet soda is perfect for a 20,000 calorie meal....
That girl should absolutely NOT have been pulled out of school. They’re happy to risk her future to care for someone who doesn’t even care about themselves.
theyre all enabling it. stop feeding it. only give it water. and stop making sure it's "comfty". it should be STANDING all the time! and get a device that helps it walk around in its room to lose weight.
Something else is at work here. Many people over indulge their children and few ever reach 750lbs. Interestingly we had a French foreign exchange student come stay a few weeks one summer and she said that they didn't have any cases of insane Class 4 morbid obesity until they built a few fast food restaurants.
This is a no nonsense dr. He says it like it is and pulls no punches. He told that mother exactly what she needed to hear whether she likes it or not. The Dr. Said this is no life for a human being. I am sorry but he is %100 Right. I love this Dr. Kudos to him.😊

Ok how did it get to this point? This didn't happen overnight it could have been stopped from getting this far,,, my heart bleeds for the beautiful daughter 😢😢😢
i still dont understand how anyone could get to this point without being kicked out of the house for not paying the rent and all other bills. if i tried this i would be homeless in less than a month.
Thing is he likely is paying rent simply because he quite literally can’t walk or take care of himself for obvious reasons, therefore there’s likely a government check; that along with whatever mom scoops from the daughters caregiver pay; normally it would go to who ever is his caregiver by the government, but since she’s his daughter as well as his caregiver that money will be 100% going back into that household
The ridiculous excuses they come up with. He is literally rotting and she is still bringing him food. I feel sorry for Dr Now in this situation he can see James is dying but there is nothing he can do to save him - I think that is why he is so angry this time. James' daughter and the friends that loyally came to help are also powerless to help and you can see she is scared...I believe he has died...so sad it came to this. What an awful situation, there are no winners here.
Pretty much. It always annoys me when ppl say " I diet, i eat better, healthy food, i avoid fast food ,i exercise etc but i dunno how instead of losing i gained even more weight" Other than some exceptions due to serious medical conditions its just simply the fact that they dont even try or give up after 1 inconvenience. Dieting for a day then scarfing all the burgers at night is not the same as " Much better"
as honest and brutal as it sounds, he got himself there. No one forced him to eat, he did it to himself literally. But I believe everyone can change the way how they live, we all start from somewhere

His daughter should be put back into school. Pulling her out of school to be his caretaker ridiculous. CPS should be called concerning this happening so that his daughter get the help she needs to get back into school and counseling for what she's had to deal with by having to take care of her Dad.
I was a caretaker for my dear husband for 4 years. He weighed about 325 lbs. but was bed bound due to a series of strokes. It was hard work making sure he was always clean and comfortable. He gave up junk food and drank lots of water but he was not able to exercise. It is easy for others to be critical of people in this situation but some of them (like us) are doing the best they can, so please be kind. There is probably an element of mental illness that factors into someone becoming this large and treating that as well as the physical ailment is important.
Well that's a totally different situation and I'm sorry that happened to you. However this woman pulling the poor girl out of school so she can care for that behemoth... Absolutely disgusting. If that's her doing her best, it's shameful.
@@KokosNaSnehu2 sometimes when you are in a desperate situation you make poor choices. It was not right that the daughter was used as a caregiver but that family needed help, counseling, social services assistance, etc. If you have no financial help and don’t know what else to do, this is what happens. In the USA we don’t always get what we need because we don’t know who to ask, or what’s available, or the logistics are too difficult (like getting an XL person to a doctor or counselor). And no one is telling you the best way to manage bedpans, urinals, cleaning the patient’s body, what products are best to use…Even as a medical pro with decades of experience there was a lot I had to learn as I went along. So if this woman felt helpless and overwhelmed and used her daughter badly, I understand how that could happen. I don’t condone it, I just see her not knowing what else to do.
I completely agree with you. Mental health issues alone are an extremely difficult cycle to get out of. The woman clearly cared about him and was probably suffering from mental health issues herself. This is an unfortunate cycle that continues. It is not something to be judgemental about if you don't know the facts or the people themselves

Talk about being in denial! He wants to stay being a victim. She enables him. And keeping his daughter out of school to help care for him?????
That's exactly what I was thinking. I wonder if his victim mentality will continue when he begins to recover.
I am surprised by the way Dr NOW is talking to this guy, AND his girlfriend, who is his caregiver/FEEDER! I LIKE IT!
RIP I hope the daughter has been able to move out and be away from her abusive mother.
His daughter should not be doing any care for him
She feels she has to cause he is her dad
I don't like CPS but in this case I think someone needs to give them a wakeup call and make sure this child can go to school.

You can’t pick and choose the easiest patients, much like patients can’t choose the best nurses.
Yes, nurses, listen and do another work. Listen to that genius advice and quit.
I've had several jobs, one of them being mortuary transport. Fortunately in most cases it only requires a couple people to transport (especially when reporting from a residence to transport someone to the mortuary). One of my cases was 800 pounds and it took our entire staff of six just to get him on the gurney and into the van and after arriving at the mortuary, I told the staff I needed more people because of the decedent's size (most of the time we'd drop decedents off after hours so sometimes I didn't have help...yes it's an odd industry).
When I saw the staff moving him, I felt that.
He died because he would not follow the rules. At least his daughter is free now and doesn't have to wipe his azz

If I was her I'd run away to extended family.
As an African who has sojourned years in Europe I wonder so much why this extreme situation happens only in US.
Lack of movement, an over-reliance on cars, cheap very low nutrition fast food, stagnant wages and long work hours that keep poorer people stuck on fast food out of convenience. It becomes a feedback loop that moves from generation to generation.
The mother is abusing her daughter by taking her out of school to take care of James! I don't understand why that family keeps feeding him! That family is so toxic!

Something else is at work here. Many people over indulge their children and few ever reach 750lbs.

Ok how did it get to this point? This didn't happen overnight it could have been stopped from getting this far,,, my heart bleeds for the beautiful daughter 😢😢😢
James- “I have to something”
Doctor- “No you don’t…. You have 800 lbs of food in you”….TRUTH
i still dont understand how anyone could get to this point without being kicked out of the house for not paying the rent and all other bills. if i tried this i would be homeless in less than a month.
I believe most of the times these people depend on government assistance.
Depends of ur family lottery but I mean, it affects u positively having a family that would kick u out if no pay
Thing is he likely is paying rent simply because he quite literally can’t walk or take care of himself for obvious reasons, therefore there’s likely a government check; that along with whatever mom scoops from the daughters caregiver pay; normally it would go to who ever is his caregiver by the government, but since she’s his daughter as well as his caregiver that money will be 100% going back into that household
Tax payers 😅
The ridiculous excuses they come up with. He is literally rotting and she is still bringing him food. I feel sorry for Dr Now in this situation he can see James is dying but there is nothing he can do to save him - I think that is why he is so angry this time. James' daughter and the friends that loyally came to help are also powerless to help and you can see she is scared...I believe he has died...so sad it came to this. What an awful situation, there are no winners here.

So so true RIP James
😢 this is so sad. Hate seeing him in pain. Honestly if Dr. Now is able to do more for him that would of been nice. rest in peace james 🙏
This is beyond disgusting!
His reaction in the situation was completely justified, probably many people in his place (not everyone)would react the way he did
The worst part is nobody is responsible for it but him.
His girlfriend is such a sinister figure.
At the end of the day he choose to put the food in his mouth.
@@Spoiled_horsegirl Who brought him the food? The man couldn't walk to get it himself.

These people are enablers…. They obviously just feed him, feed him, feed him. Disgusting!!!
Can't feel bad for people who make excuses in life and don't want to make any new changes for the better. I feel bad for the daughter and doctors
Pretty much. It always annoys me when ppl say " I diet, i eat better, healthy food, i avoid fast food ,i exercise etc but i dunno how instead of losing i gained even more weight"
Other than some exceptions due to serious medical conditions its just simply the fact that they dont even try or give up after 1 inconvenience.
Dieting for a day then scarfing all the burgers at night is not the same as " Much better"
"You got 800 pounds of food in you " Quote of the Year
as honest and brutal as it sounds, he got himself there. No one forced him to eat, he did it to himself literally. But I believe everyone can change the way how they live, we all start from somewhere
Enabling and/or supporting is also a big factor at least in this situation
This is one of the worst case of moral degeneration. Poor lost soul

This guy needs to stop eating. The mom should be arrested. Parents are responsible for the child going to school.
this mohrbid is never a vibe.
His daughter should be put back into school. Pulling her out of school to be his caretaker ridiculous. CPS should be called concerning this happening so that his daughter get the help she needs to get back into school and counseling for what she's had to deal with by having to take care of her Dad.
I was a caretaker for my dear husband for 4 years. He weighed about 325 lbs. but was bed bound due to a series of strokes. It was hard work making sure he was always clean and comfortable. He gave up junk food and drank lots of water but he was not able to exercise. It is easy for others to be critical of people in this situation but some of them (like us) are doing the best they can, so please be kind. There is probably an element of mental illness that factors into someone becoming this large and treating that as well as the physical ailment is important.
Well that's a totally different situation and I'm sorry that happened to you. However this woman pulling the poor girl out of school so she can care for that behemoth... Absolutely disgusting. If that's her doing her best, it's shameful.
@@KokosNaSnehu2 sometimes when you are in a desperate situation you make poor choices. It was not right that the daughter was used as a caregiver but that family needed help, counseling, social services assistance, etc. If you have no financial help and don’t know what else to do, this is what happens. In the USA we don’t always get what we need because we don’t know who to ask, or what’s available, or the logistics are too difficult (like getting an XL person to a doctor or counselor). And no one is telling you the best way to manage bedpans, urinals, cleaning the patient’s body, what products are best to use…Even as a medical pro with decades of experience there was a lot I had to learn as I went along. So if this woman felt helpless and overwhelmed and used her daughter badly, I understand how that could happen. I don’t condone it, I just see her not knowing what else to do.
I completely agree with you. Mental health issues alone are an extremely difficult cycle to get out of. The woman clearly cared about him and was probably suffering from mental health issues herself. This is an unfortunate cycle that continues. It is not something to be judgemental about if you don't know the facts or the people themselves
I’m 6’1 175 lbs active male and sometimes i have anxiety about my health. I couldn’t even imagine being this guy and living like that…i’m actually in awe how he’s even alive
