That doctor refuses to address the fact it hints at with its anecdote, that even if they can "save" a morbidly obese patient today, you simply delay its death until tomorrow. Because the body is wrecked from trotter to snout, and even if you can patch it up today, it'll just gorge itself back into the emergency room. Why throw good money after bad, when it could go to help those who deserve it?
