Oh, hun...I know you don't know me from a hole in the ground, but you have my sympathy. I've gone through the same kind of treatment from medical professionals because I'm a large woman.
The damnedest part of it is that a lot of the time, we big women are just as healthy as the skinny ones, in terms of blood pressure/cholesterol/etc. I have skinny friends who can't keep up with me in the gym -- I lift weights for 30 min and then do 45 min of cardio, and they're giving up *way* before I do.
I'm sorry that you had to go through that. And to everyone else who has mentioned tradgedies happening to them and the people they love -- you all also have my sympathy.
