lel. Little does the fatass know that one of the reporting metrics for doctors is the % of overweight patient visits included the weight discussion - they're basically required to do it, you stupid fat fucks.

hypertension, diabeetus, heart disease, a.k.a "the triad". tubbies dont know this but their physician writes these down on their chart after about a 0.8 second occular assessment then asks if they've been diagnosed with those conditions [yet] only as a formality.

Literally government mandated. Meaninful use attestation requires a shitton of metrics (selected from a list of options). One of the easiest and most common to pick are childhood and adult obesity - where you're basically required to talk to at least 80% of obese patients about weight loss during their visit. Fats may bitch about it because they're too fucking stupid to know, but HHS (and doctors, and actual people) knows that obesity is the #1 killer and #1 driver of medical costs in the US.

That and "advised to stop smoking" checked even if we didn't.

Hell, I'd be stunned and leave too. There are people with health issues who are willing to do whatever it takes to get better or maintain the best quality of life possible for themselves. No use wasting time on the willfully ignorant.

Being fat will also increase the time it takes to recover from menial illnesses as well.

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

The only thing missing was, and the people in the waiting room heard it through the closed door, and cheered and clapped as I strode out of the docs room.

Lamborghinis (or sports cars in general) are low and have little space inside, though, so there's no way a planet could get into one.
