[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Of course they do.  I'm overweight.  If I go in for the flu, they tell me I need to lose weight.  If I go in for a pap smear, they tell me I need to lose weight.  If I go in for migraines, they tell me I need to lose weight.  The sole reason I have for any medical concerns is that I'm fat, I'm essentially being told.[/quote]
I don't necessarily think this is judgment of a personal variety, OP. As medical practitioners they know that your health could be improved by losing weight. It really does affect everything.[/quote]

+1 to the  :roll:

DH has a chronic illness that [b]caused[/b] him to gain weight.  The disease predated and directly led to the weight gain.  It is made worse by his medicine for the disease, which has caused additional weight gain.  As confirmed by his [i]specialist[/i].  Yet every doctor he sees besides his specialist tells him how his weight is causing the illness.

Sometimes, despite how well educated they are, doctors can be incredibly, infuriatingly stupid.  [/quote]
