IME the opposite is true. I myself and several friends have had doctors that refuse to treat something until a weight issue is addressed. In my case the treatment was for obstructive sleep apnea and losing weight as part of combined therapy w my CPAP has helped a lot. In at least one friend's case she had severe, constant belly pain and multiple doctors gave her the old "have you tried losing weight about it". It wasn't until one actually engaged with her symptoms that they found out she had an active infection in her abdomen and also several tumors on her ovaries. So, you know, a mixed bag. Sometimes they tell you to lose weight because being heavy directly correlates with the symptoms you're expressing, sometimes they tell you to lose weight because losing weight is vaguely correlated with positive health impacts overall and they've got 10 minutes per patient to make a diagnosis and develop a course of treatment. That being said, I'm gonna file "doctors are afraid to tell patients they're obese because they'll be accused of body shaming" next to "they're putting litter boxes in the classrooms so the furries can poop in front of everyone" and "strangers are putting LSD in halloween candy to get kids hooked". It's 100% made up rage bait and the people who believe it believe it because they hear it all the time from their propaganda echo chambers.
