It's his job to tell the patient that she's at a dangerous weight, and from what it sounds like, that's exactly what he did.

We don't know exactly what he said, we don't know his tone of voice. He also basically told her that she would be single for the rest of her life if she didn't lose weight. That's pretty tactless and shows some poor bedside manner to me. But that's not the point. I'm not on the said of his patient. I think no matter what he said, she needs to get over it because some people are always going to be mean and tactless and at the end of the day, he thought he was doing what was best for her.
