I had surgery delayed due to fatties. This happened about two months ago and it still pisses me off. I tore my meniscus while doing construction work on my property. MRI showed a complete tear so off we go for a meniscectomy.  The doctor was cool as shit and tells me to skip pre-surgery and show up at 6am and he’ll have me in by 8am and home by noon. Cool.  At 6am I go through the pre-check and everything is golden until I hear the nurses whispering.  Didn’t know referring to patients as “over 25s” was a thing.  I assumed they meant age, and I’m way over 25. Nope, I figured out that meant fat asses. The nurse came back and said my surgery was being delayed until noon due to concern of high risk patients coming out of anesthesia that were scheduled after me. I verified that was the case when I was leaving and could see these 300 pound plus tub of lards moaning and groaning how much they hurt.  So there you have it, a healthy person who has taken care of themself gets delayed because recovery is predictable and quick.  I’m so sick of fats clogging our medical system.  Arthroscopic surgery shouldn’t be a 12 hours process.
