Sounds like the hospitals need to stop belly-aching. Hospitals are for all people to use and if they happen to be obese then why not steer these people into a healthier direction. Be less critical and more helpful. Stop showing news stories zooming in on people that are overweight or aiming the cameras at these faceless people's stomachs. Do something more hands on about it. Them stating how they had to get everything reinforced to me sounds like they are taking a pot shot at the people who are struggling with this weight epidemic. People who read this that aren't fighting the daily struggle with weight, see this hospital article and pass this among their fellow colleagues as a way to poke fun at those that are not so lucky to easily control their weight. When they lose the battle like many of us have, they gain weight and it can avalanche in seemingly no time. The hospitals could have made these changes and not have said one word. Anyone would figure that a bigger person would need a bigger bed or whatever. To me, this was wrong.

Alienation is never the right way to go!!!!
