There are severe height biases in medicine. Taller (and thus larger) people fall well outside most "norms" of medical statistical analysis.

For example, did you know a large male human will have a larger prostate, which itself will generate a larger PSA number than a "normal" human? This in and of itself, at a certain age, will cause some doctors to attempt to stick a needle assembly you know where to sample the prostate. If one just goes along with this statistical oddity, instead of demanding the other (more modern) tests out there, one could literally end up fighting a nasty infection, or worse a spread of cancer if it was actually found.

I would say fighting hidden biases is more frustrating that fighting obvious ones, but both need to be fought and fought well.
