Dr Asher Larmie
CW: Fertility treatment, organ donation, BMI based surgical denial
Fat people are being denied fertility treatment without evidence to support it, denied organ transplants they would benefit from, and in some cases denied the chance to save a loved one's life. This episode examines the guidelines behind these decisions — and finds them cruel, discriminatory, and scientifically indefensible. This is not just bad doctors. This is bad medicine.
