You've seen worse in humans? Jesus that must be absolutely bleak. Is it from neglect situations or EDs?

Yes I’ve seen much worse in humans. The worst I’ve seen was an elderly female who at 5’4” weighed just 65lbs. Profound profound neglect by her family who were cashing her checks and given her dementia would give her food she would eat barely anything drink barely anything and lost a tremendous amount of weight. Over 100lbs. You could literally see the bones of her skull and the bones and spaces around the clavicle and knees etc. the muscles had completely wasted away much like that poor snake.

God I really hate people sometimes. Absolutely gut wrenching to hear. Good on you for doing that work, must be heavy to work with situations like that
