Yep. A friend who is a qualified GP hates it and refuses to use it. He is short and stocky and to use an often ill-appropriated (by fat knackers
) term, "big boned", in that he does have very broad shoulders, very large rib cage for his size, etc. He is exceedingly fit and there isn't an ounce of fat on him, but he informs me that due to his natural shape, he could be dangerously thin, but still in a strictly technical medical sense of the word, obese.
