Let’s say you guys take down the wall. Who is going to pay for it? Seems a lot of money will be involved just to transport 1 person out!
I really have high respect for you guys. I think in some cases, you guys save a lot more lives than doctors.
The WeTV series featured Lopez talking about her weight struggle, including learning to walk again after shedding 400 pounds. She shared that at one point she had weighed 846 pounds.

Holy shit. >

As a paramedic there are some people I go to and just wince. The logistics of getting these people out of their apartments in a timely manner are exhausting and dangerous for patient and practitioner. If they fall in the wrong place it can take hours to get them out. If they fall down dead in the wrong place there is very little anyone can do. >

Don’t you guys ask a bunch of fireman to help? >

I can only speak for the UK but we have special bariatric teams for cases like this. We can call fire out but that's if any structural stuff needs to happen (taking walls, windows out). However, I've had a couple of cardiac arrests where CPR was unsafe and the time to deconstruct the adjoining wall was going to be a long time. So we had to just leave them to die. Sad but these people are way way down a path before we arrive in their moment of crisis.
