Review of Dog Eat Dog

The name of the disorder the guy had is Prader-Willi Syndrome. It is a difficult syndrome to manage, but it is not impossible with the right environmental controls. You don't have to lock up the individuals who have it. Instead you lock up their food in the home and provide strict supervision when they are out of their home. The truth is, though, that they can most definitely eat themselves to death in one sitting! Obviously our stomachs only hold a certain amount of food and a person with PWS can't feel when the stomach is full, so they could eat so much their stomachs actually rupture. Furthermore, binge eating even of a lesser capacity can cause their stomachs to become necrotic and they can die from that too.

I have yet to see this episode. I missed it when it originally aired and can't seem to catch a rerun of it to save my life! LOL I know about this disorder because I work with 17 individuals who have it. My job is anything but boring! :)
