Your points seem especially relevant and important in the field of orthopedic medicine, where—in my personal and ongoing experience—BMI is used as a gatekeeper and where weight can negatively influence a person’s ability to receive care AND recover with ease.
Thank you so much! I agree 💯% on your points about care and recovery. It is infuriating that BMI is being used to prevent patients from receiving equitable care.
