I can't imagine what it would be like to be a doctor who sees these patients probably multiple times a year, for health complaints that you KNOW are related to their weight, and knowing that these health complaints will only multiply in the coming years, and the entire time, they're refusing to do anything.

I completely agree, I was over 200lbs last fall and none of my doctors would say anything to me. I had horrible blood sugar problems and because of them I went on a diet similar to south beach that I still mostly follow. I would have loved it if my doctor was like hi your sugar problems are because you're fat. It would have made me realize that it was my weight that caused the problems instead of me thinking OMG I'M DYING.
I've since lost 70lbs and haven't had a sugar episode in a long time. I was shamed into it by comments people in my life made instead of doing it for a medical reason. I think the lady needs to get over it and lose the weight. You can't sue someone for telling the truth in a diagnosis.
