Liang Yong, "The Fattest Man in China"
Male, 30 years old, from Dazu County, Chongqing, junior high school education;
Height: 1.58 meters, waist circumference: 1.9 meters, weight: 225 kilograms;
In 2007, he received a Guinness World Record in Shanghai and was called "The Fattest Man in China."
Recently, Liang Yong, the "Fattest Man in China" from Chongqing, has been hospitalized due to illness. Standing at 1.58 meters tall and weighing 225 kilograms, both his treatment and examination present an unprecedented challenge for the hospital.
Transportation difficulties. The standard hospital bed is only 1.2 meters wide, and Liang's body is too large to fit on the bed. Even more challenging is that regular stretchers cannot bear his weight. Drawing blood becomes impossible as veins cannot be located, CT scans cannot visualize internal organs, and ultrasound waves cannot penetrate his body. A few days ago, Liang Yong from Dazu County in Chongqing sought medical attention at Xinqiao Hospital due to abdominal distension and pain, causing quite a bit of trouble. All the diagnostic equipment became ineffective in front of his 225-kilogram frame. Yesterday, Xinqiao Hospital convened multiple experts for a consultation on this "Fattest Man in China."
Examination difficulties. Every part of Liang's body almost exceeds the dimensional limits of medical devices, rendering them useless. When doctors performed an abdominal ultrasound on Liang Yong, there was no reaction on the display screen. "The abdominal fat is too thick, and the ultrasound waves cannot penetrate!" the doctor helplessly stated. Treatment difficulties. Currently, all clinical drug dosages are calculated based on the average person's weight. Liang's weight is so large that the standard dosage would not have any effect.
