A fat female friend of mine and I went to a doctors office which was also an urgent care facility. In the doctors office there was only one armless chair and a thin person was sitting in it. The fat female friends surveyed the situation and loudly stated that since they were no armless chairs available she would sit in a chair with arms and if the arm broke it would be the doctors offices problem since they did not provide adequate seating for large patients.
Later I went up to the intake worker and asked the following question, If my fat friend had broken the arm on the chair who would be responsible for paying the cost of the breakage? I was given a card that contains the name of someone I could call. I also pointed out that doctors said it was unhealthy to be fat and that the average American was getting fatter and that therefore this particular medical facility could expect to be seeing an increasing number of unhealthy fat people. Where would they sit?
Was my fat female friend embarrassed after I asked that question? After she had loudly announced to the whole office that she might be so fat that she would break an arm on the chair I doubt that she was embarrassed by my asking the question. But it is true that I did not ask her.
Yours truly,
