It requires both an inability to function physically and mentally and should be used in describing a person or persons who possess both. Idiot references mental. Klutz references physical. Gomer encompasses both. A person who is not only an idiot, but has the physical ability to try to own it and inevitably fail.
Originally arose in connection to 60s iconic TV character Gomer Pyle.

They are literally sent there so that family members can presume to live without the guilt of letting their loved one die with the least bit of human dignity. As a result, these poor souls die a slow, pitiful death, out of sight from their family because their family doesnt have the [seeds] to pull the plug.
Literally: Get Outta My E. R.

GOMER is an acronym for Get Out of My Emergency Room. In the novel House of God (Samuel Shem, 1978) GOMERS are defined essentially as sickly old people who now because of dementia have lost whatever quality it is that makes someone a person. When GOMERS come into the hospital they are unable to communicate so the admitting doctor will order many, many, lab tests hoping to discover why the GOMER was sent to the hospital. GOMERS never come to the hospital, they are only sent. This battery of tests is sometimes called a Gomer-Gram.
