Larry: 700lb Of Serious Addiction
Larry has not left his bed, let alone his fifth floor apartment in over ten years. Weighing a colossal 320kg, Larry is too big even for robes or gowns, let alone clothes. Instead he spends his days virtually naked, slowly eating himself towards death. Larry is addicted to food, consuming over 14,000 calories in an average day. More than six times what is recommended for an adult male. You have to watch this story (below) to truly appreciate how seriously MESSED UP this whole situation is.
The man is clearly being mal-treated by his carers, yet they seem almost as oblivious to the issues as Larry himself. Or at the very least, afraid to confront him about them. Probably afraid of being SAT on. At one point his family tries to shock him by showing him the total amount of food he eats in a day (a whole table FULL of food) . Larry just laughs, saying he used to eat TWICE that amount when he was young, and proceeds to sit down and scoff the lot.
After watching the story I have some questions of my own that were not covered by the reporter:
- Where does the MONEY come from to PAY for all this food ?
- How STRONG is the TOILET in Larry’s apartment ?
- How does Larry even REACH around to wipe ?
- When was the last time Larry saw his FEET ?
- When does this situation go from being just a "funny" story with giggling relatives to a MEDICAL and HUMAN WELFARE issue.
- When does someone step in and say "Enough-is-enough, I cannot stand by any longer and watch you people KILL this man. He needs medical help to treat a serious addiction."
Society chooses to treat it’s alcoholics. Society chooses to treat it’s narcotics users. Society chooses to treat people with mental and psyhcological illnesses. Society chooses to enforce this treatment against the will of the patient when it’s considered by Society to be "for their own good".
So, WHEN does somebody in the Society of Larry’s life decide that Larry needs involuntary medical treatment "for his own good" ? If Larry were an animal, say a horse, or cow, then Society would have stepped in long ago and put a stop to this ridiculous farce, for the welfare of the individual.
A sad story all round…

Dude… maybe you should get that CHECKED OUT
A 58 year old Chinese man, Huang Liqian who ignored the "growth" on his neck for 17 YEARS finally decided to visit a doctor recently where he was diagnosed with a 15kg tumor. Big surprise there.
Now I admit freely that I’m no Johns Hopkins trained medical physician. I don’t even know anyone named John Hopkins. But even I could have told him [sirens.. bells.. whistles..] SOMETHING IS WRONG. Who are the people in this man’s life that let this drag on for 17 years?
Who needs enemies…
