Overweight doctor bemoans his inability to shed the pounds; says he takes up ‘a lot of space’ at the operating table
A Shanghai doctor has gone viral because he weighs 150kg, with some internet users jokingly asking whether they should follow such a plump person’s prescriptions.
Chest surgeon Xiang Ruilong, who was born in the 1980s, works at Shanghai Yueyang Integrated Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and Western Medicine Hospital.
Standing at 1.84m tall, he weighs in at 150kg, the Xinmin Evening News reported.
Xiang said he was about 110kg when he started working as a resident doctor over 10 years ago.
He gained weight over the past few years mainly due to high pressure from his job, the report said.
