Fat People Sent to the Zoo

omg??? my dad is a fat Black man and they called him saying since he’s fat he can get an MRI at the zoo if needed...... let me repeat this... THEY SEND FAT PEOPLE TO THE ZOO TO GET MRI'S BECAUSE AVERAGE MRI MACHINES ARE NOT BIG ENOUGH fatphobia is literally dehumanizing

A screenshot of a tweet describing a hospital allegedly sending fat people to a zoo for MRI scans because standard MRI machines are too small. The joke is an absurd, darkly satirical exaggeration of medical weight stigma, framed as a shocking example of fatphobia and dehumanization.
