Would you really want a doctor who is obese? A mildly overweight doctor, sure. But obese? I think it would depend on the specialty. I wouldn't really care if my radiologist is obese. He can read and interpret my scans just fine. Same for pathology, endo and renal docs. I don't think I'd want an obese ER doc as CPR is pretty tiring, same with my anesthesiologist- don't want them sweaty and out of breath while trying to put in an airway.
