"Obesity, like other states of malnutrition, is known to impair the immune function, altering leucocyte counts as well as cell-mediated immune responses."
Source. So, yes Mayo Sue. You do get sick more often than normal people. Keep on winning HAES.

A doctor I work with asks obese women for urine for pregnancy tests as a joke. Their faces always seem shocked. He 's a good guy.

I'll be honest, I've walked out on patients before.
Every single time it was because I had to leave before I punched them in the throat or said something that would get me kicked out of residency, those patients were THAT insufferable.
I'm guessing this doctor was thinking along similar lines.

sugar negatively impacts the immune system, so I bet there is a link between sugar addicts and strep throat, in terms of susceptibility, recovery times, and any other metric that likely tracks healthiness in general.
