Mini-Rant: Bariatric Ads played while on hold. I had to make some hospital calls today and while being transferred between departments I was put on hold a couple times. There was no hold music, just a default pre-recorded message about who qualifies for bariatric surgery and how affordable it can be for patients. The tone was meant to be encouraging so that obeasts would inquire further.  Am I being over sensitive about this? It just seems ridiculous to me for obesity to be so common that the default hold message when calling a hospital is about how to have the extreme excess fat removed from your body. I guess it’s just assumed that most of the population is so morbidly obese that most who call the hospital would be curious about bariatric surgery. I hope those fat fucks are happy, they’ve actually managed to find something more annoying than the standard muzak for human-sized people to have to listen to while on hold.
