In their defense, if you're very fat that's probably going to cause most of your issues. Perhaps after a while repeatedly diagnosing things with the same root cause is going to frustrate your doctor as well.

How about a little empathy for them? No need to lose weight, but also no need to bother them with it then. Which is essentially what you're doing, a net win for everyone :)

They call it "trans broken arm syndrome" because this shit includes things that are obviously NOT hormone/obesity related. Things anyone else would get an immediate MRI for.

Exactly the kind of thoughtless answer that presumes I'm just angry about being told the hard truth or something I needed.

Being obese does NOT IN FACT lower your risk of every disease (except apparently heart failure?) that is not caused by obesity. Obese people need doctors for non-obesity related issues too.

I asked you to try to think about it from your doctor's point of view and you just repeated that they're not doing what you want them to do. Yes, they probably made mistakes due to their own emotional state.

Responding to this from an entirely egocentric place is just going to make the problem worse. Why not approach such things with compassion; at least you may get somewhere with this person. It is hard to make diverse friends if you cannot do so.

Your comment makes no sense to me.

Failing to treat me is a professional failing with severe adverse effects for me. And it's entirely based on the judgemental assholeness of such doctors. If you can't stop blaming people for their conditions, find another job. I'm not my GPs therapist.

Also, they've been dead for close to a decade.

I mean being obese affects so much of your body negatively that it's almost certain that fixing that will fix many of your underlying issues even if they don't appear to be because of obesity.
