Hey I have better things to do too! I would also just get up and leave. There's no point wasting effort on that.

Easy answer: "I'm a doctor. I see two health issues here. I'd be going against my oath if I didn't try to treat both."

The doctor probably said that fats do get strep more, but the fat in its ears prevented it hearing.

"I went to the drs about the flu. The Dr then asked me about the gaping infested whole in the side of my face. I said what, are people with gaping infected holes in the side of their face more likely to get a cold then people without gaping infected holes in their face".

It's the same principle....the dr is being good, identify clear issues in addition to the problem presented, before they get worse.

Boston University had a study earlier this year suggesting that the immune system has a poorer response in those with obesity. So you would be more susceptible to strep is obese, and have a harder time recovering from an infection.

More likely the doctor thought "I'll go help someone who is actually willing to take advice, rather than this fatass eating herself into an early grave."

As it turns out, there may be a link between obesity and sore throats:

And chronic sore throats can be a symptom of sleep apnea.

There are doctors out there that will give you the side eye if you have strep throat and you're over a certain age, so I'm sure the doctor thought obesity and lack of hygiene was a major cause here
