For everyone hyper-focused on him being overweight- that sometimes isn't the only problem (or the problem at all).
I'm relatively thin/average build, and was having troubles sleeping, breathing and I was snoring a ton. I complained to my GP about this, and he prescribed some nasal spray which didn't help at all. Went to an ENT and of course had to have a sleep study.
The entire time I was telling them, I think my tonsils are fucking huge and I have sleep apnea due to it. Only after seeing two doctors and having an $800 sleep study did they agree and I was able to get my tonsils removed. Afterward they wanted to do another sleep study to find if it fixed it; I said no thanks.
Sometimes- just sometimes the patient actually knows what they need. Now I have a new GP, who is much more helpful in providing what I actually need without random expensive tests.
