I feel most doctor's discriminate against short men and that men in general always receive horrible care over women.  I never have seen a short man for example go to the doctor and not get super fat or just in general lose everything.  Doctor's have this concept I feel inside that you should be fatter to be healthy.  Nearly every thing I am given is also dosed horribly and never is the proper dose.  I feel people in general get fking horrible healthcare and don't notice it.  But being shorter you kind of pick up on the fact they won't run real tests and feel you are an easy target to prescribe the most expensive drugs to make the most money possible despite the fact older drugs which have proven to work and are cheaper exist.

I thing being short is bad...but I don't think it's THIS bad to the point where doctors discriminate in the way you describe. lol. I think that's just paranoia. Doctors are generally good people and care about the well-being of their patients regardless of what they look like.

Most height discrimination comes from women, certain types of careers/opportunities (sales, modeling, etc.), and from jokes/comments from friends/general people.

All nonsense. Adult Height not co-related to salaries.
Height at 16 is more co-related to salaries.
So, its more of a psych effect.

This is a stupid comment. I care about my short patients more, actually.
