Severe obesity (body weight over 200 lbs.) or severe wasting

Wait what? I converted 200 lbs to kg and it should be equal 90 kg. This isn't severely obese. I weigh much more and do stuff like bouldering.

Anyways, doesn't even matter because it is important to also train on fat bodies. Because otherwise we face the same problems medicine has with ignoring female and black bodies. Most studies have just been on white, able-bodied male bodies. To actually treat all bodies with the best care, medical professionals should be trained on all types of bodies!

I agree with you, I was just sharing what I knew of the process. My grandpa was rejected in a different state, but they were kind enough to cremate him for us.

Thanks for sharing, otherwise I wouldn't even have thought of this. It's so infuriating :(
