Arcsech says >" I’ve witnessed, with my own eyes, a woman talk to a doctor about chronic nasal congestion, and his response was to tell her to lose weight. Doctors habitually not believing the experiences of their patients has done incredible harm over the years."<

I've seen a similar situation but felt the doctor was stating what was important. He did accept her experiences but... Her congestion was not remotely as important as her weight, her weight was going to speed her death, and she'd best lose weight soon.

IOW he was saying "regardless of how you solve your congestion, you simply must lose weight now or you will die soon from a heart attack or stroke."
