I’d imagine that docs are well incentivized to prescribe certain profitable, high-profile drugs.
If anyone knows the details of this, please tell.
They probably don’t want to give up stuffing their faces
The doctors gotta ‘earn’ their 10%, or thirty pieces of silver.
They gave you free coca-cola at work? Most workplaces, you have to use the vending machine.
It paralyzes your stomach. After I found that out I decided ‘not for me!’
It’s always something to bitch about anything
Id take it but it only curtails appetite

To be fair , the weight is going to be a contributing issue to a great many ailments.
“Some fat patients say doctors are pressuring them to take the miracle drug instead of listening to their immediate health concerns.”
If you’re 100lbs over weight, there is no more immediate concern than to drop that weight.
Going on a diet isn’t rocket science.
Control your eating and get out and move.
Unless you have a genuine metabolic disorder, that will be all you need.
It’s not like they’d listen anyway so give them the medicine...it works and it helps. Maybe after they lose weight they’ll feel better and be more active.
I had my teeth cleaned this past week. I’ve recently lost about 60lbs and that became a topic of conversation. She asked if I used Ozempic, I did not.

Having just gone through natural weight loss, I can tell you that if you eat from the meat, produce and dairy departments, you’ll probably lose weight without any effort besides cooking.
It is the processed foods with man-made franken molecules in it that is causing obesity. Potato chips fried in seed oils. Sweets with a years worth of fast carbs. Bioengineered food. Gene spliced ingredients. Your body does not know what to do with these non-naturally occurring foods. What will your body do with cheese made from gene spliced rennet? Bioengineered wheat? Our bodies have reactions to strange chemicals. Some good, like statins lowering cholesterol. Some bad, asbestos causes cancer.
Anyone care for a donut fried in Olean and glazed with erythritol?
Fat and protein are essential. Carbs are not essential. Eat plentiful of natural, essential foods and you won’t be obese.
