The majority of morbidly obese people could very well help it. If someone is honestly and truly overweight due to hormonal imbalances and thyroid issues, then that's a different story. But, if that was the case with this woman, her doctor probably would not have warned her on how her obesity could eventually kill her.

Exactly - the doctor is going to try to find what is causing the issue, whether it's diet or genetics. He's not going to drive the nutrition issue if it has to do with more than nutrition.
The fact is that a doctor (and anyone for that matter) can't simply assume that something like weight is out of a person's control. For some people, yes, there can be other issues, but for the majority it's a matter of nutrition, exercise and taking better care of one's self. I know (from personal experience) that in those cases, while it's not easy, it can be done.
Sometimes an honest voice is all it takes to get started, and it seems like this woman doesn't want to hear that honesty.
