Harsh isnt it? What sort of help could he get though? He cant excercise it would kill him and a diet wouldnt work because his body would starve. Its a sad shame.
There is help he can get though – ther is one place I was reading about in a magazine – Andover Village, which is a clinic for the morbidly obese. Apparently it is specially designed…reinforced beds, extra large wheelchairs, etc.
The problem is – you have to be referred to get help. If people like this man are confined to their house – how are medical professionals going to find out about it??????
It all comes down to similar reasons as a couple of other ‘neglect’ threads that have been on here recently. Either, he has no family and friends, or he has family and friends but they are ignoring the situation. :(
