Worked with a woman, fluctuated between 375 and 415 pounds constantly, said she was healthy. These things I knew about her: she had a vein, not artery, spontaneously open up from her leg while sitting watching TV – the flow from the vein squirted 7 feet hitting her TV (she came into the ER where we both worked) when they unbandaged the wound it squirted across the room ( nurses were sure she was exaggerating), she had terrible bone spurs in both her feet from her weight apparently, and she got married and was really upset she couldn’t conceive: she told me later she had not had a period in a few years, this due to her obesity. But she swore up and down she was perfectly healthy. I never understood the denials. Last real story: she met her husband at an after hour class they were taking, she sat on a bench and it raised up and he slid down the bench into her: he was tall and very skinny and they were a real cute couple honestly.
