Video: Obese man lowered out of fourth floor flat by rescue team

 

 

A video showed an obese man with heart disease being lowered out of a fourth floor window by rescuers from the Poh Teck Tung foundation.

 

The man was Theeraphon who weighs between 120 and 130 kilos, said Sanook.

 

The staircase to his room was too narrow for a stretcher after the patient complained that he couldn't move.

 

Sahaphon Srisombat of Poh Teck Tung said that they attended the scene in Charoen Sanitwong Soi 23 in Bangkok Noi and took Theeraphon to Bang Phai hospital for treatment.

130 kilos? In the USA and Britain, that would be considered a normal weight nowadays.

The UK maybe, but in the USA he'd be regarded as anorexic

Really ? Sure bet those extra large pizza boxes squeezed through ok though.

He really didn't look that big. 

Though some of the rescue crew looked very well fed. ?

Maybe they skipped breakfast, so they ate chunks of him.
