I didn't think that he was being very nice, so I came back with this:
I don't recall insulting you professionally, sir-I never judge a book by its' cover. I am also a casemanager with a degree in social work and over 20 years of experience in that field, and quite familiar with the contents of the DSM. I simply could no longer work with deadbeats and welfare and workers comp cheats (not to mention liberal co-workers) so I returned to the work I did while in college-do you take that to mean I suddenly lost my intellegence, or do you think all construction people are stupid and uninformed?
AMA be damned, you won't find a conservative person with my work experience who believes that obesity is a "disease" any more than any other obsessive-compulsive and addictive behavior is. These are mental problems which are overcome with counseling, emotional support, and a sincere desire on the part of the individual to improve, not surgery and other draconian measures-please don't tell me you believe in lobotomies and electroshock therapy, too..."
SHEESH...................
On a happier note, hubby just got back from Wal-Mart (he went to pick up a prescription) and brought home my b'day present!!!!! "Unfit for Comand"...........can't wait to start reading!!!
