6 Fuß 10 Zoll großer Krankenhauspatient starb an bettlägerigen Infektionen, nachdem er sieben Monate in einem für seine Größe zu kleinen Bett verbracht hatte, was ihm starke Schmerzen bereitete, während er auf die Bereitstellung einer Hebevorrichtung durch das NHS wartete, wie eine Untersuchung ergab | [Note: 6ft 10in is 208.28 cm]

Awful.
My husband is super tall, so when he was in hospital I knew to ask for the bed to be extended so he actually was able to rest/heal. Although it is not ideal, standard hospital beds can even have the end barrier removed entirely, and I am sure that would be preferable to being stuck without enough leg room.
He stopped his life saving medication to protest and therefore died after.. its horrible
Absolute failure, any bed can be easily extended usually.
Sorry for offtopic but is the pic taken w some fish eye effect or whats up with the hands?!
Shocking, we have bariatric fitted hospitals everywhere but we cant deal with tall people ?
Im lost for words how piss poor the world is now.
While this is horrible and I feel for him and his twin brother who donated him a kidney, even a bigger bed may not have solved the fact that he was bedridden, no?
> Dying, he said, „would be a better option than lying in bed 24 hours a day“.
When are the UK going to finally admit the NHS aren’t doing the best job?
