Rarely do they show people who died from the neck down for a reason. Can't have people thinking hey wait a minute most of these people were fat fucks and already sick from something unrelated. If they do that the gig is up. Morbid obesity is and has always been the real pandemic in America and it's getting worse.
Healthcare in America nowadays is basically just treating self created illness. It's all heart disease/failure from a shitty diet and lack of exercise, kidney failure due to uncontrolled diabetes and hypertension caused by, you guessed it, shitty diet and lack of exercise. Strokes and heart attacks due to, again, shitty diet and lack of exercise.
An overwhelming majority of people in the hospital are here because of overconsumption and a complete lack of any semblance of a healthy lifestyle. Basically boils down to extreme excess of fast food, alcohol, smoking, and lack of physical activity.
I work neurosurgical ICU and at least half of all the patients we get are LITERALLY s direct result of the unhealthy lifestyle they've lived their entire lives. Unchecked and uncontrolled blood pressure and diabetes, massive obesity, copious amounts of alcohol, and a lifetime of smoking.
The other half are actual sick or injured people and it's insane the difference in LOS and severity of illness when comparing the two. The actual sick ones are almost always in and out of the ICU in a few days. The ones who essentially did it to themselves are always there for what feels like an eternity.

Which really pisses me off as a Healthcare worker. I want to treat sick or injured people, not your fat ass.
