LANSING, MI (AP) -- Firefighters cut a hole in the side of a house and used a forklift to extricate a 900-pound man from his second-floor bedroom after a visiting nurse became worried about his health.
Rescue workers were called in Tuesday by the nurse, who determined the 33-year-old man needed medical help, Fire Chief Tom Cochran said.
Cochran said the man had not left his home since 2003.
The man's brother, who lives with him, said he suffers from Prader-Willi Syndrome, a rare genetic disorder that creates a chronic hunger feeling that can lead to overeating and life-threatening obesity.
Rescue workers brought in a forklift, high enough to raise a platform to a hole cut into the wall of the house. They covered the man with a blue tarp to shield him from onlookers and slid the platform onto a flatbed truck for a trip to Sparrow Hospital.

Whether he SHOULD have been treated or not is a different, and perhaps more complex, question.
And misdrial, they probably had someplace to put him, but if he needed any scans, he most likely went to the zoo. They have MRI and CT scanners that are much larger.
...that is called, Fatty Perpendicular, the stretched-stomach syndrome.....for every person with a genetic predisposition to obesity, there are 10000 people, who can't stop feeding the cake-hole.
