Be careful not to be the other side of the coin from the fatties and declare your doctor a quack just because you don't like what he says.

If he's basing it purely on BMI then yes he's a fool, but there are other signs of malnutrition than being underweight and he should be trained to look for them.

Hmm, good point, she could have had some deficiencies in her bloodwork.

Was just about to post the same comment. Asians can be prone to vitamin D and B12 deficiencies in particular, which can lead to a lot of other shit.

She should follow up with a different doc (hopefully one who is better at communicating with patients) to double check that her bloodwork is all ok.
