Who's Fat!?
Greetings!
I was reading an article about a doctor who had to defend a complaint for having told a patient that she was overweight and she got offended. Check it out.
The thing is that we live in litigious times, don't we? I know, because I practice in the area of discrimination law, and am very aware of the litigious trend that Western societies are becoming.
I was listening to an Asset Protection expert saying that California is the #1 litigious city, followed by Sydney (Australia), Texas, and Queensland (Australia).
Now, I don't know the manner and tone used by the doctor when he told his patient what he thought was the professional truth... but I tend to agree with him that he should not have to settle his claim for doing his job (unless, of course, he adopted an insulting tone).
The thing is that many people just simply do not accept they're overweight... not even by looking themselves in the mirror. And when others point out the obvious, they can get very touchy and offended. But sometimes, confronting the truth is the only thing that can save their lives.
That's some food for thought... ;-)
Yours in health,
