Assume for a moment this was a fat patient who received a similar comment from a 21-BMI health care worker.
If you think they would file a complaint, then file a complaint. If you think they'd let it go, then let it go.

It would go viral on fb within the hour. If there's one thing fats can be counted on for, it's propagating all the ways they are "discriminated" against.

file a complaint and get it fired

Yeah, there was literally no reason for her to state that "fact" unless she saw an opportunity to put down a thinner and therefore more attractive person than her. Subconsciusly fats will always attack a thin person, even if they don't mean to. But they usually do.

Positively file a formal complaint with the employer and with your state or county department of health. At the very least, that was deliberately nasty and unprofessional and it was more likely bordering on malpractice. That was total bullshit, so don’t put up with it.

bordering on malpractice
Actual malpractice, because wrong information: Does obesity increase the risk of miscarriage in spontaneous conception: a systematic review.

Sorry to hear that. It sucks.
And fuck the fatty, fuck it sideways. You won't be surprised to hear that obesity, if anything, increases the risk of miscarriage.

It does. Your chances of a miscarriage increase by about 33% when you're overweight and 66% when obese. A morbidly obese person is more than twice as likely to miscarry as opposed to someone with a healthy BMI.
