I've worked with fat patients. I have no sympathy when they tell me that their folds itch or smell. Why? A lot of times they refuse the treatments and help we give them, and then they end up like that. Like fuck your ass, I put netting between your folds to air them out, and you decide to remove it. Not my fucking problem.

Not sure how I'd deal with people admitted into the hospital for treatment. A bit of both. "I understand that it's hard (lol)" but also a "even if we give you an operation you will have to change your lifestyle and work hard for it." They're essentially like kids. You can't just give them the truth, you have to sugarcoat it a bit beforehand.
