I was in the hospital for treatment of endometriosis. At the time I was visited by an intern who got called away abruptly to deal with some emergency, and he left my chart right there on the bed, so I picked it up and looked at it. It listed me as 5’5” and 130 lbs. and this guy had written “obese” after that.
