Did you know that your medical bills are prorated according to your BMI??? I heard this at my last support meeting... Larger people are more difficult to examine, test, etc. is the theory...
AND... the Fire Dept/Paramedics keep a file of those with high BMI's... in case of a 9-1-1 call, they send extra hands to help.... Egad! Add in we live in a raised ranch - so there are stairs involved getting morbidly obese me or DH out... add on a fork lift!!! I can't imagine our paramedics know about us... wonder if we need to "pre-register" for possible emergencies...
