So what? Lung cancer is a medical condition. Should a doctor tell a patient " You've got a 75% chance of being dead within 5 years, but first, we're going to do thing to you that will cost lots of money, make your hair fall out, leave you weak, and then you'll die. Guess you shouldn't have been smoking all these years"?quote:

Obesity is a medical condition , it is not a lifestyle or fashion statement. As the son of a doctor, I get pretty sick and tired of hearing how people, who obviously know more than doctors because they diagnosed themselves on the internet, tell health professionals how to diagnose or communicate to patients.
If he broke the news to her (that she's too fat) gently, or not at all, and she later died as a result, I'm sure her family would later sue the doctor as well. ****ed if you do, ****ed if you don't.
Thank god can't be sued for this kind of c r a p in Australia. We'll file this away in the "only in America" folder.
How is being rude the same thing as being professional?
