Don't you fucking put *all* the blame on nurses bad backs on fat people.

We're trained to deal with a certain weight threshold by ourselves, and after that, you get help. End of story. If you are a nurse worth half your fucking salt you'd know better than to try to do any sort of ADLs, treatments, or assessments of a morbidly obese patient by yourself. If you are in a facility where you don't have assistants, you need to call the Health and Safety Department because what the fuck sort of facility is operating when it is unable to meet the basic safety needs of it's staff AND residents?

Do you know that in some places that you aren't supposed to grab a falling patient? The best you can do is make an attempt to help guide them or lessen the fall, but you are NOT supposed to stop them from hitting the ground because one already injured person is better than two.

I'm a nursing assistant with a focus on geriatrics. I've had to deal with morbidly obese old people who are a great deal more fragile than their younger counterparts. I don't care how fat you are, I'm not going to leave you in the bed in the same damned position so your body ends up breaking down. I'm not going to neglect your hygiene because 'it's too damned difficult' to get all the folds clean! That's *bullshit*. It is my JOB to take care of you and help you, no matter what your status is. If I am unable to help you by myself, I WILL GET SOMEONE TO HELP ME. It's not rocket science. We are taught different techniques and have various equipment to help us. Yeah, sometimes it might be difficult getting a fat patient onto scale or in a body scanner, but we make it work because IT HAS TO BE DONE. It is a TEAM EFFORT, not a Party of One. I don't have sympathy for the nurses or nursing assistants who think they can do it all without any help because all they are doing is sabotaging themselves.
