Obesity has profoundly altered health care in hospitals. The obesity epidemic has forced health care facilities to rent or purchase so-called "big boy" beds, chairs, lifts and other equipment to deal with the burgeoning dimensions of our patients.

Hospitals are investing in MRI machines big enough to hold 550-pound patients. They are buying portable machines to extricate obese patients from their cars at the emergency department entrance. They are widening doors and switching from wall-mounted toilets, which support a mere 325 pounds, to sturdier floor-mounted models. They are buying longer needles and catheters and bigger patient gowns. They are renting or buying "big-boy" beds, commodes and walkers designed for the morbidly obese. Two Main Line Health hospitals have purchased extra-large hyperbaric chambers to aid wound healing for patients up to 550 pounds

Thank you for the replies. I was looking and found Big Boyz beds for obese. ? - Kelley

I found the brand name Big Boyz beds. Should I be typing Big Boyz or big-boy?

Have they also invested in some hospital gowns for obese people? Otherwise, I have noticed they have to wear two of them to avoid showing everything from behind.

Big boy beds in the past meant when a child left their cribs and went to a bigger bed. Now with all these expansions, no pun intended, hospitals are going to have to expand, right?

Does ASR not "hear" year-old approximately 5 million times a day? This cannot be because someone "changed it wrong" in an ASR report. It is because it is stupid and whoever programs it is stupid. Also it takes 6.1 about 3 seconds to change the speed in a report now - up or down. I have to sit and wait. Going to be a really great day. I am sick with cold or flu and, of course, calling in sick is never an option. Sorry, I digress. Thanks. Jus ...

and not once has she NOT been sniffling, sneezing, snorting, and swallowing/gulping down her own snot. Clean your nose out, already!

The word in question is "female". I've never heard of that but sounds like what he is saying. Is that correct? I cannot find anything on it. The sentence is: I went ahead and passed a 20-French female sound through his reconstructed meatus and he maintains a good caliber meatus and feels that he urinates without difficulties. ...
