Yea because it will kill you early. Do you want your doctor not to talk about your health problems?
- aaomidi 6y ago"This has caused hundreds of missed diagnosis for serious issues because it's just "lose some weight"." Are you missing this? Not everything is related to weight. Again this is what I mean about being dismissive about other health issues when someone is obese.
- ntsplnkv2 6y agoDoctors are not all seeing gods. They need input from their patients - if you told your doctor that you have been actually dieting and actually exercising but aren't losing weight and wonder if there is some other cause? And if he won't look into it get another doctor. It's not that hard. > Again this is what I mean about being dismissive about other health issues when someone is obese. Doctors see the excuses all the time - in most cases it's diet and exercise. You can be mad all you want that someone called you fat and a doctor misdiagnosed you but at the end of the day it's your body and your life, he won't be the one dying from complications due to obesity or your other health problems.
