Actually, John was one of the rare ones who had good numbers despite his weight, he mentions it in his stand up, I’ll post the bit when I find it. They’re out there, I was one of them. I remember standing on that metal scale at Kaiser Permanente, The Phantom Menace, while the happy, excited nurse went on and on about how fit I was. I had exceptional numbers on everything they measured and was stronger, more flexible, and had a greater lung capacity than any of the doctors. I was a weightlifter, a mountain climber, and I ran my own landscaping business six days a week.
I was also 5’, 7" and weighed 190 pounds.
The second she saw that reading on the scale, her face darkened. She turned to me and, I swear to god, she started lecturing me about how I was going to die soon. Three little Arabic numerals apparently cancelled out reality for her. That how fucked up the medical community is. Don’t drink their Kool-Aid.
