[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, as a doctor I will say that you are being a bit immature.
A time is coming where doctors will be so PC that nothing, NOTHING, will get done because we afraid of hurting someone's feelings. [/quote]

As a doctor you have shitty bedside manner [/quote]

How do you know?
We are supposed to describe what we see on physical exam.
Read. IS the abdomen scaphoid, normal, or obese?
Is the abdomen firm, rigid, or soft? 
It all matters, yes it does! Even fat and obesity matters. IT WILL EVENTUALLY KILL THIS CHILD EARLY if she does not get a handle on it.  Oh, I forgot, if we don't talk about it, it will go away.
When the G-d d-am personal injury lawyers tell us that we did not do a complete physical exam, what do we say? "Um, I was afraid of hurting someone's feelings?"

THE SYSTEM HAS GONE MAD!

OP, best way for your child to lose weight, which she needs to do, is to eat LESS food.

Wow, you may have an MD, but you are a serious asshole.  This child has lost 35 pounds.  Clearly the family HAS talked about it, believes it matters, and the child is dieting.  (I disagree that dieting is all about eating less food.  More important is eating the right foods.  No one will keep weight off by starving themselves.  Another sign that you are really a terrible doctor).  If you are so bad at listening to your patients, if you regard them with such distain, if you don't care about their feelings (I will not pay a doctor to make me feel bad.  It is not a necessary part of medical care and it shuts down necessary communication between the doctor and the patient -- something you clearly don't understand) you really are a crappy doctor, whatever your skills.[/quote]
