I was in hospital on Thursday and Friday of this week, and as part of their admission plan I had to weighed. I am quite small (am just about 5ft tall) and am slim.
They have assessed my BMI according to some stupid tick box and decided that I am seriously underweight, which automatically triggers an appointment with a dietician.
Now, the reason I was in hospital is completely unrelated to my weight and it plays no bearing on the visit AT ALL. I know I eat well and am okay for my height but I am annoyed that I now have to see a dietician to justify having a naturally smaller build.
So am I right feel that this visit is a waste of their time and mine? The nurse was the one who told me it was a stupid system and she thought I looked okay - not dangerously underweight.
