<p>I’ve had run ins with all types, but many who appeared… unhealthy. I had this nightmare of an experience at a sad excuse for a public teaching hospital where the Resident Surgeon, or whatever her title, was obese and tall. I don’t know how to say it without prejudice, so I’ll just say that my mother and I made ad hominem comments that didn’t concern her work. We almost automatically assumed that she was somehow incompetent. As someone passionate about human rights, I recognize the folly of my assumptions, but in a hospital involving loved ones, your head is everywhere. </p>

<p>I feel like this would be their train of thought as well. Even though we all know slender or “normal” people are capable of being unhealthy as well. No matter how you slice it, it is discriminatory. But imagine an obese heart surgeon or nutritionist, just sayin’.</p>
