I was a new patient of Dr. Chirwa. I visited her office to have my annual physical and blood work done. A little background on myself, I am an weight lifter, just over six feet tall, and weight 195 (all muscle). Upon meeting Dr. Chirwa for the first time she looked at my height and weight and, using the BM Index, "determined" that I was overweight. As a physician, I believe that she should know how the BMI index works and how it will calculate someone's body mass index incorrectly if they are muscular. However this did not seem to be the case. It was not that I was insulted by Dr. Chirwa, as I actually found being called overweight quite funny, but I could not go back and see a doctor who seemed as if she had no clue.
