I worked for years in Nursing homes and I have hurt my back and body so many times from lifting obese residents (even to left their legs up into bed hurts your back and body) I am still suffering from all that lifting... I totally agree with the physician, they should have physician and clinics specifically designed for overweight patients. I know they sure don't like to be put into lefts because it hurts them. All around it is a bad bad situation.View Thread
