The intersection of disability and weight seems to bring out the worst in people. No one seems to wonder, even for a moment, whether someone's weight might be a consequence of disability or medication, or even just irrelevant!
Worse, doctors are as prone to it as non-medics, if not worse. I'm lucky in not being particularly overweight by the Sacred Dogma of BMI, but I've heard horrendous stories from others.
