Obesity: The Post Mortem

[Creekimp13 5,841]

WARNING: Not for folks who have a weak stomach....

But for those who are biologically curious and don't find watching surgery upsetting, this is a fascinating look at the post mortem exam of a significantly obese woman who donated her body to science.

You can find it on Netflix if you'd rather watch on your big TV, or here's a link to watch on your comp:

It's seriously ironic that the pathologist doing the post mortem is morbidly obese...and wow, she only weighed 238lbs at death and was 1 inch taller than me...

Karla isn't heavy. Mike is pretty overweight, but I'm not sure he's morbidly obese?

Right. The girl is normal size. But the doc looks very overweight to me?

[Creekimp13 5,841]

Autopsy gowns are not flattering. He's a big dude, no doubt. Really tall, too. But given there's no specific mention of him having morbid obesity, I guess I wouldn't be sure about it. I'm sure he's somewhere on the obese BMI side of things, though!

Oooh -- I heard about this!! Hmmm, can I watch it at work? LOL

[Creekimp13 5,841]

And hell if I know! LOL. He might be. But you know me...I'm a sticker for documented fact. I can eyeball him and say...yep, dude is large. But I haven't seen him on a scale. I'm being nit picky.

Apple..I'd watch it at work...but I work with weirdos, so... LOL:)

[Apple203 1,314]

I watched it, LOL. Or rather, after the scene with the first opening and all that ab fat, I switched to listening to it. TG I am getting sleeved!!!!

It is pretty graphic.

Apple you're glad you're getting a sleeve, i am equally glad I will get my RnY, I'm older than her so I'll be faithful to any liquid, prediet I get put on! Yeah remind me later,if I start whining. I want a liver that leans toward anorexia instead of a soccer ball. I should put a still shot of her on the pantry and another on the fridge.She was shorter than me but 80,pounds lighter. I heard the alarm bells going,off, did you?

Ok. I watched the whole thing in a couple sittings. It was intense to see, but confirmed what I knew pathologically about being morbidly obese.

That was interesting to watch. Sat through the whole thing and never got bored but it was sad to see.
