But sometimes they really DO need to lose weight...or die.

I got written up by a patient who was morbidly obese. I encouraged her to walk more, and that would help her lose weight. She wrote a complaint against me. I didnt even mention the word “fat”. I just told her that walking more would help her lose weight. She is probably dead by now, 500 lbs of fat.
