Every time I get my height measured by a new doctor, they feel the need to tell me that my legs are short for my height.

I don't recall ever having my height measured. Is that a U.S. doctor thing?

Visits often start with a basic vitals check, but as an adult they've been content to simply ask my height, while measuring my weight.
