Worlds fattest man to sue

Former world's fattest man to sue NHS for his weight gain
London, Jan 08 : A man who was once named the world's fattest man is all set to file a lawsuit against National Health Service (NHS), claiming they failed to help him as his size soared.
Former postman Paul Mason, who once weighed nearly 70 stone, received life-saving gastric surgery last year binge-eating his way to gargantuan size.
But the 50-year-old, who now weighs in at a comparatively small 37 stone, said he should have been helped years ago.
Mason, who was eating 20,000 calories a day at his heaviest, claims he sought help from his GP after ballooning to 30 stone.
Instead of receiving a treatment programme to manage his weight, he has complained he was told in 1996: "Ride your bike more.
He also says he was sent to a dietician, rather than the eating disorders specialist he had asked to see, after his weight hit 64 stone.

Is he right or wrong? Or is he just a lazy bastard

IIRC from the show it was 7 years.

it sometimes seems that fat people are the last group in society about whom it's ok to be openly and aggressively offensive and abusive

I'm sorry, what? Is it 'ok' to abuse any social group?

The NHS would have been more economical with their funds if they had opted to amputate his arms. See the ****er eat then.

I love how he can make logic out of sueing a government body over the fact he ruined his own life.

The fat must be taking over from the common sense side of his brain. (or by the sounds of it, that happened a long time ago).

Fat people go to doctors now?

There has to be something wrong with you to get to that size... IMO the Doctors shoudl bear some responsibility.

Also if is is not looking to make a profit out of this and goes about setting up some sort of beneficial program that has got to be worth something

Maybe he could spend some of it on an awareness campaign, telling people that eating like a pig and not exercising makes you fat.....

Can you imagine this stupid bastard trying to ****.
Would he use his hand or just wrap flab around his cock and rattle away?

Anyway did you see the crap he's been eating? 2 full fryups in the morning. 4 fish n chips and 2 kebabs for lunch, etc.

Who brings him this dung. If he can't stop stuffing his stupid face then at least east a box of muesli for breakfast and 6 large salads for lunch. This clown is just addicted to sugar and grease.

Even if he doesn't keep the money, he's trying to shift the blame. It's their fault I'm fat. It's society's fault. It's... BOO FRIGGEDY HOO FATSO! You're fat because you ate more than 2 families do each day. At 37 stone or whatever, when he first went for help and they didn't give him the help he wanted, he probably started crying into his bucket of KFC and waddled all the way home, stopping by every take-away because walking from one to the other make him a little bit peckish.

He doesn't care about the money. But now that his fat face has been on telly, he's probably getting loads of abuse for letting himself get in that condition, so he's passing the blame. He deserves to get nothing from them, and should be given a slap for trying to sue the NHS because he kept eating. And whoever was helping him by feeding him or whatever should be given a bigger slap.

Guy must expel a serious amount of sh!t as well several times a day if he eats that much. Maybe he could sell his crap as fertiliser. How does he clean his flabby arse if he's bedbound?

"I should have been helped sooner"

I realise it's not so easy as "stop eating so much" blah blah and he needed help to work his way down effectively, but come on 20k calories. You don't need a dietician to tell you to stop eating THAT much

Eating disorders are a lot more complicated than that.

He says he'll put any money he wins toward helping other obese people.
It seems he got terrible treatment from his GP and dietician.

I don't think medical professionals approach overweight/obesity properly so considering the above I say fair play to this guy

As not not so fit and slim person, I'll accept its my fault i'm over weight, at treble my size when he went for medical help any Doctor should have refered him to someone who will do something for him, not just say he needs a diet.

There was something wrong with him, if an anorexic came in they would have helped them, not just said go to KFC and stuff your face.

But ya, whoever the frigg fed him shout be beaten stupid(er)

ride your bike more....
he tried but the flaps of his ares caused too much drag...

stop eatin ya fat feck

dagdha

I watched the documentary about him on Channel 4 last night and to be honest he came across as a fu*cking prick. Everybody elses fault bar him that he's that fat. He got so angry and started crying and smashed his phone off the wall when after his surgery he got news that the NHS were cutting his caring assistants hours, he would of actually had to do something for himself then.

They sent him to a dietician. If he can't show that he can lose some weight by himself and control his eating habits, stomach stapling or whatever would be too risky. And I really doubt he was told to 'ride his bike more'.

A dietician could have helped revise his diet, work out how many calories he needs and work out a plan for him. It may not have been the option he wanted, but it was a valid course of action on behalf of the NHS.

He's been shamed in newspapers, Channel 4 and now international forums if you want to say Boards.

If that were me, I'd be thanking the NHS for saving my life and then stay out of the headlines. Instead he's right back in them with this "crusade" against the NHS.

Legend. Wish I'd thought of it.

He has pledged to put any compensation he receives if successful towards helping other obese people lose weight.

..presumably by hoovering up as much as possible of the worlds remaining food supply.

I assume he's been hiding it under the many, many flabs and creases of skin.

Hiding a Sunday Roast would be like me hiding a Polo mint.
