In the AA community, it is possible that someone could NOT know what anorexia was. Not Probable, but possible. The drs in question may not have been asking the right questions, especially since Eating Disorders are not common in AAs. I was constantly teased about my booty and thighs when I was younger and it didnt help that I was one of a handful of AAs in my school. While I never entertained the idea of starvation, or bingeing and purging, I can see where these girls are coming from.
