They are both correct.
She should lose weight and he was unprofessional.
Now she has to find a new doctor and he has to take a communications class.
He was right. She should listen.
Really, a professional doctor should advise her to lose weight and offer help/programs, then mind his own damn business. He does not own her mind, spirit nor her body. Which is what gets mixed up in socialist societies and cultures where anointed “betters” become belligerent and disrespectful towards their lessors. In the extreme this socialist attitude can lead to a bureaucratic decision to imprison or kill the lessors.
All the pigs are equal; some more equal than others.
He walked into her room, told her she was too fat and if she didn't lose weight it would kill her. He then walked out...Hard news for patient, but total truth. He was not know to pussy foot around a problem. He charted exactly what he told her....patient charts are legal documents. And once something is written it cannot be white out or crossed off...not even on nurse notes..
If you are charting progress or problems with a patient, you can draw a line through what is written, but it must still be readable and then you have to initial it...
This doctor was a dozie..
