Obese man dies for not fitting into the CT scan machines

An obese Australian man passed away after being admitted to a hospital in Queensland. In fact, the doctors failed to diagnose his illness because the hospital’s machines were unable to carry his weight.

The Australian Associated Press (AAP) said that, when he was rushed to the E.R., the 63-year-old man was suffering from shortness of breath and was vomiting black liquid. Following the forensic examination, it turned out that the man suffered from ulcer while he was treated for gallbladder.

Investigators in the health complaints department stressed that it was impossible to diagnose his disease before his death because he couldn’t fit into the CT scan machines.
