looks like fat shaming hospitals are asking to use ct scanners at the zoo to scan morbidly obese patients instead of buying their own supersized scanners
perhaps this could be a motivational form of degradation?

NHS hospitals have resorted to asking zoos and vets to scan patients who are too obese to fit into hospital scanners.
The bizarre requests to use CT scanners, normally intended for four-legged animals, at the UK’s leading veterinary college in north London were revealed as hospitals face pressure to adapt beds and wards for an increasingly obese population.
The Royal Veterinary College (RVC)yesterday said its CT scanners, customised for horses, could be used to accommodate patients weighing 30 stone or more but they would need to get a special licence to scan humans.
