Dear
Cassi,
I
have a low opinion of my doctor and I’ll tell you why. He ran my blood work and
took my weight, found that I was healthier than him, and then told me that I’m
a candidate for gastric bypass surgery.
It
so happens that I have a lean body mass of well over two hundred pounds and his
analysis is incorrect. In order to be a candidate for gastric bypass surgery
the body must be forty percent fat or more. I grant that I’m close to that but
not over.
What
happened is that he is assuming that I have the lean body mass of a normal
person. When we assume we add an ass to U and Me. A normal man of my height
should weigh in at no more than one hundred and eighty pounds. If I was that
small you could see my bones.
The
world is not as munch of numbers no matter how folks wish to make it so. Never
in my life have I been a man who could be summed up easily. Clearly, my doctor
sees me as numbers and figures, but I still maintain my humanity.
Be
true to yourself, little sister
Richard
