Having waged a nearly life-long battle with being obese (currently winning)I'm aware of exactly how fat people feel. I still have no problem with a doctor saying "if you don't lose this weight you're very likely to have heart problems, diabetes, etc. and may die young." I don't think a doctor needs to sugar coat it, because the majority of obese (heck even just overweight people) want to ignore the fact that it's a problem or is likely to cause them problems.
Best post I have read all day.

Ohhhhh heck...I was going to be a smart ass, but then changed my mind....
hehehe
It remains "The Post of the Day"

Baby got back... and front... and side...
see! I ain't so bad afterall(looking at my profile in the mirror...)
ROTFLMAO!
LOL
Who is this . . . Dr. Don Rickles?
After she was told that she was too fat maybe she said that she wanted a second opinion.
(Thanks to KSFO's Officer Vic for remembering that old, old, old joke. ". . . OK. You're ugly too.")
Wish I could shake this doctor's hand.
I have ALWAYS appreciated my medical information to come from straight shooters. Not a time or place for PC types of answers. I believe.
If his state continues to pressure him to behave differently, I hope he takes his talent and services elsewhere. Then the whiners can complain "There are not enough doctors".
A sexist assumption that she (even wants) must have a man to be complete. /snicker
I suspect many wives would take the insurance and enjoy life without the encumberance of hubby. My wife says she wouldn't be all that interested in having another man around....am I doing something wrong??
Keeping on subject, this Doctor is an a-shole.
Shake his hand for being a jackass? There's a different between politically incorrect and being an ass. Why is it some freepers equate racist comments with being cool and unPC? Don't you folks get outside?
You like being treated by swaggering tin-plated dictators with delusions of divinity?
Well, to each their own.
Wish I could shake this doctor's hand. <<
Shake it while he is still practicing. He discussed a patient's case in public. The org that took the complaint tried to minimize it by omitting the black man part of the comment.
He's not a straight shooter. When he was discussing this complaint he ignored the black man part. When he was confronted with that issue, he read it somewhere?
He's a weasel, and he got caught.

LOL nah I don't. He sounds like he's high on his own supply imho.
No question about it, this one will get his license yanked.
