At that point, if i were the doctor id just prescribe them aspirins and tell them to eat whatever they want, as much as they want. Sugar preferably. Hope for soon and quick heart attack to end their pain.

Make the idiots sign a waiver so the doc has a “get out of jail free” card.

Oooh, that's an excellent idea!

(Didn't we see something like that here [quite] a while ago? Ohhh, no, it was about something else, but it was the same principal: make someone who thinks they know better sign a waiver acknowledging that they are putting their health at great risk [in the example I'm thinking of, it was their baby's health; it might have been elsewhere that I saw it] by refusing to do X or Y.)

I would love to see a form like that:

"I am refusing to be weighed or to discuss my weight today. I understand that by refusing to provide this vital medical information, I am limiting my doctor's ability to understand the full picture of my health, and by refusing to discuss or hear advice related to my weight, I am limiting my doctor's ability to properly treat my problem [or recommend proper treatment]. I understand that refusing to discuss or hear information related to my weight limits my own knowledge about my health and my risks for Type II Diabetes, heart disease, lung problems, skin infections and bacterium, joint and back problems, kidney and liver issues, foot problems, bone problems, and early death in general, and, if I already have any of those conditions, my refusal to discuss my weight or consider weight loss limits my doctor's ability to treat those issues, thereby increasing my risk of early death. I hereby agree that my doctor will not be held liable should any obesity-related illness, disease, or problem cause my early death or simply limit my quality of life. I hereby certify that I am taking charge of my own health and I believe I know my body better than my doctor and my medical knowledge is more extensive than that of my doctor, so should any of those illnesses occur, limit or destroy my quality of life, or cause my early death, the only person liable for that is myself."

I wonder how many fatties would actually sign that? Hahahaha! I love that idea, I really do!

The nuance is not to do it if it puts you in danger of even more "medical fatphobia". That anything medical could have anything to do with your weight is just out of the question for these dumb beasts.

Can't doctors simply refuse to see patients who pull this kind of REEEEEEEEtarded-ass stuff? I admit that I'm not a doctor, so I don't know the legal ramifications.

[–] DorothyMantooth 0 points 1 point (+1|-0) ago 

Yes, they can--at least, they can in certain places or situations.

How embarrassingly ridiculous.

Is this some kind of fucking yank thing? Coz it doesn't happen here.

Rosa Parks was obese. It is one of the reasons she couldn't get out of her seat and her loss of breath and confusion.

However, I'm sure she would be simply considered a 'smallfat' with still too much pesky 'thin privilege' today.
