Well that must have sucked. Yeah, the beds in the ER aren't really equipped for people of size. Hopefully yours could be wheeled anywhere you need to go. Sometimes in our ER, our gurneys don't like to function properly and the ER team doesn't see getting them fixed as a necessity. But the good news is the medical industry is starting to recognize that larger patients are becoming the norm and have been designing their equipment to handle those larger people. But change is slow in medical land. Too often we get one "fix" only to discover six other things that also need to be upgraded.
