It's not hurtful, unless she takes the doctor's advice as some sort of value judgement of her and her lifestyle, which would be a clear misrepresentation of his intentions from all indications.
It is tactless and hurtful to blame her for her husband's obesity. She can't control what he eats.

Yes, she needed a wake-up call. I've already said so in this thread. Telling someone they need to lose weight or face the complications of obesity is not tactless and hurtful. Telling them, "You are going to die alone and fat," is.
