In what can only be called a very big deal, the Much Vaunted National Health Service© has come up with a really clever way to handle morbidly obese Brits who need CT scans:"NHS hospitals have resorted to asking zoos and vets to scan patients who are too obese to fit into hospital scanners."
To be fair, this actually makes sense: rather than deny these folks any diagnostic options, this at least gives them some hope.
And, of course, room.
And from the Learn Something New Every Day© Dept:
"The practice of referring patients to zoos is commonplace in America where obesity has reached epidemic levels."
"Commonplace." Uh-hunh.
'Cept for one small problem: No, it isn't.
