       Me: hey, doc: that medicine didn't work, the symptoms are getting worse, I'm reaching the ones listed under "call your doctor immediately if you experience any of:". Any chance we could fix this?Doctor: here's a prescription for the same medication. We can't do the surgery but have you considered losing weight? We can send you to a class on exercise!ARGGHHHHHHHHHHHJ

       @foone Modern medical training apparently holds that all you need to know about overweight patients is that they go away if you call them "fat" enough times.

       @foone yeah, pretty much the same as every doctor I’ve been to. “We’ve checked nothing and can’t figure out what’s wrong with you. Have you tried losing weight?” I’m like I’ve had this problem done I weighed 65KG. It’s a symptom, not the cause.
