Re: Stupidest Thing You've Ever Hear Out of a Doctor

[elialshadowpine]

I wasn't saying that for all people of our height; I meant for me specifically. I'm very obviously stocky and broad boned, so it makes no sense to say that I should weigh the same as somebody who is fine boned with a lighter structure. I've certainly met people of my height who are 100lbs or under and are healthy! It's that she said that under 100lbs was the only healthy weight, which is BS. At my best I was about 125, because I walked 6miles every other day or so, and I had a lot of muscle.

My family on both sides also genetically tends towards overweight. When I went to my family reunion on my maternal side, the only women who were not short and plump (if not heavier) were the women who had married in. The thinnest was probably a size 12, and most others were around 16 or higher. Given that, and my PCOS and insulin resistance, and medications that cause weight gain (that are not optional; I have gained about 20lbs since going on my current form of bc, but it's the only one that has controlled my PCOS/PMDD and it's the 7th form I've been on, so I'll just deal with that extra 20lbs), and have chronic pain which makes exercise difficult, even though I'm on a healthy diet (for my insulin resistance), I am just not likely to lose it.

Yeah, it totally wasn't her job, and she was starting to get to the point of making my mental health medications dependent on if I had the surgery! That's where I finally left, because as bad as it was, I have huge new doctor anxiety and was terrified of getting someone worse. (Thankfully, my new psych is a lovely East Indian lady who was shocked that I was being undermedicated for the severity of my psych conditions, and actually listens to me. My former psych wanted me on SSRIs for my anxiety instead of benzodiazepines and my new psych was like, "But SSRIs can cause mania in people with bipolar, why would she suggest that?" Just a bad doc all around.)
