Hi, have an MD. Your doctor can't, or at least in any institution I've been at we couldn't, or I would've for every patient of mine. I had 3 overweight RNs who were good, and the rest of them were normal weight, and the bad ones were fat.  There will be an RN who runs the zone of the hospital you're in. The odds this person is fat is lower but nonzero. May necessitate a room change (RN may look after a few rooms on one hallway, for instance, you'd go to a different hallway). The other person to call is the operator, where there will be an ombudsman type person for the hospital. They will be concerned you will give the place low ratings (affects reimbursement) If your request is reasonable (and it totally is) they'll move rooms.  Please evaluate the health care places you're visiting. Bad scores and your reasoning is one of the few ways we can improve.
