TV or not TV

They have to knock down one wall of his house. “Here as an obesity surgeon I never came across a human being that was still breathing that was anything like his size“ Patrick weighs as much as 5 baby elephants, the weight bearing down on his vital organs is killing him. When he rolled to his back, he could not breathe, because the weight would prevent his lungs from expanding and contracting. After 7 years of being trapped at home Patrick weighted 76 stone and his body was deteriorating dangerously. He had a lot of weeping tissue which means his skin had stretched beyond capacity and that the fluid from his body had basically seeped out and saturated the sheets. He had blood and a fecal matter on his hands under his finger nails. For months Patrick had lain face down waiting for his life to end. He had had the TV on all the time, 24 hours a day and I always felt that he had that TV on so that even if he was sleeping that sound was there and he knew he was still alive.
