dailyrecord.co.ukA 47-stone man who 'hadn't left his bed in six months' was forced to be rescued from his flat using a crane, as firefighters were unable to free him.Jose Maria Fernandez, resident of a flat in Cadiz, Spain, had not ventured from his home for an entire year, stating he had been confined to his bed for the prior six months.On Wednesday, firefighters commenced efforts to move Jose from his bed.
Utilising ramps and stages borrowed from a local entertainment company, they succeeded in constructing a structure that allowed them to move him to his balcony.Yet the substantial crew of 17 struggled to shift him from his flat, prompting emergency services to usher in a crane to assist in lifting Jose into an ambulance, reports the Express.Aged 49, Jose's distressing situation became public three months ago when he sought help publicly with hopes of receiving an operation that could aid him in losing weight.
In conversation with La Voz De Cadiz, he declared: "I need someone to help me get out of bed and live a normal life... find a doctor who can operate on me." "The public health system is very slow.
There are many cases... I can't live like this. I'm 49 years old and I need to live."Get the latest news sent straight to your messages by joining our WhatsApp community today.You'll receive daily updates on breaking news as well as the top headlines across Scotland.No one will be able to see who is signed up and no one can send messages except the Daily Record team.All you have to do is click here if you're on mobile, select 'Join Community' and you're in!If you're on a desktop, simply scan the QR code above with your phone and click 'Join Community'.We also treat our community members to special offers, promotions, and adverts from
