So hospitals need to ask your weight before they will even give you an appointment for certain procedures? My doctor ordered an MRI for me a couple of weeks ago and said the hospital would call for an appointment. Admissions called me last week. Before I was given a time and date, she asked me, "What is your height and weight"? It told her and got the appointment. I was puzzled about that so I looked up information on MRIs. Apparently the machine can accommodate up to 400lbs. Are there so many people over 400lbs that hospitals need to ask in advance that you aren't so obese you will break their equipment or not fit into it? Do they need to know in case they need to send you to an equine vet for an MRI? That's the only conclusion to which I came. Has anyone else experienced this?
