Vegas gets ambulance for people up to 1,600 pounds

[Oeditpus Rex]

The vehicle looks like a regular ambulance. But it's extra-wide, and has a larger gurney, a winch and ramps capable of loading up to 16-hundred pounds.

1. Nice, but ....

you still have to get MacHuge down two flights of narrow stairs or out of the rear bedroom of a single wide trailer or dislodge him from the space between the toilet and sink where he fell when he had his MI.

3. Not in that league. The largest I've helped move was a 400

pounder off a 2nd story roof.

4. I remember a show about EMTs on Discovery/Health or Lifetime..

the NYC EMTs were going to a call and it was to a "walk-up" apartment, no elevator... as they were bringing up the stretcher, the female EMT was saying to herself "please don't be 300 pounds, please don't be 300 pounds..."
