My step sister just went to the hospital for stomach problems the other night. After bitching about how the ER is NOT a doctor's office, she posts on FB about how she has a stomach ache. IN the ER. Apparently she was in EXCRUCIATING pain. So painful in fact that she was on FB bitching about our local hospital for 4 hours and bitching to my mom and step dad as if he was going to march down there and demand she be seen. So of course my mother and I are texting back and forth about how stupid she is, and I told my mom she's probably has a bowel obstruction from being on a BRAT diet for over a week (doctor's orders, I was implying she eats butter and lard normally) and my mom said "I'm pretty sure it's because she's obese." <3
Now she's posting pictures of a bruise that looks like it's 3 x 2 cm saying "THIS IS WHY I HATE IVs". I work in a fucking nursing home you should see the bruises I find on poor residents on warfarin. If her arms weren't so fat they probably wouldn't have had to poke and prod around for a useful vein.
If I had to deal with THIS multiple times a day I would try to dump people too. I wish I could dump people now- the ones that lay in the home and take taxpayer dollars and don't follow ordered diets or any medical advice to stretch or exercise.

If her doctor wants her to walk 30 minutes a day, then she can walk for ten minutes three times a day. FFS.

MY fav thing about undiagnosed chronic pain is that anyone who is really experiencing life-altering physical disability and didn't choose that for themselves will do LITERALLY ANYTHING, especially lose weight, in order to find some relief. Just go check out /r/chronicpain sometime, maybe put "weight" into the search bar. Everyone there is willing to do what it takes to get their life back.

Again with the associating of being fat with sexual orientation and race.
