Quilter (I'm a quilter to bt-dubs! Well, I've completed one quilt as of September 17th...and I'm currently planning my next! Yay sewing! Yay needle crafts!),
It just seems unfair if tigger explains to them that her health problems existed before her weight problems that they should listen! Obviously, she has been in her body for quite a long time--and ultimately she probably knows it a bit better than they. If one tells his/her doctor that they had, for example, diabetes before they were over weight--losing weight might not be the solution--but instead a readjustment of balance of foods.
It's not so much that doctors ask questions and want to perform tests--it's that some don't always listen.
Sorry, but I don't have severe chronic stomach pain because I'm fat. It's a problem that runs in my family and has for generations--regardless of weight and build. And no, it's not acid reflux! Dear God, convincing doctor's that the pain hovering around your belly button is not acid reflux and that acid reducers don't work...Sigh. Anyway. Sorry for the rant.
My point is, doctors are certainly the experts; but people are often not strangers to their own bodies. Medical professionals should listen to them.
