Anonymous asked: (about weight stigma in the medical field) My brother is a paramedic and he has seen fellow paramedics, nurses, and drs STOP IN THE MIDDLE of CPR if the patient is large without calling anyone over to finish (for extended time) and a lot of the time no one volunteers to help finish (for 'regular sized' patients, there is usually a rotation of helpers in place). People have called 'not it' before over large patients. One memorable time, someone played rock paper scissors to see who had to do it.

My God…that is fucking terrible. Just…the fact that we have doctors pulling this shit, it fucking boggles my mind!
