YOU HAVE TO BE KIDDING ............

I just read the msn main page and omg I cant believe that someone would have the audasity(sp) to file a formal complaint cause their dr told them that they are obese. If my dr hadnt kept on me I dont know that I would have made the decissions to take charge of my life that I made. I am just floored. This is a crazy world no doubt. I just had to rant for a few this is unreal. I know that noone wants to hear that they are obese but my goodness you go to the dr and expect him to tell you the truth dont ya. I mean come on. Ok Ok I will climb off my soap box now it just burned my hide ( fur and all). Barry 03-14-05 -126+ havent weighed in over 2 weeks so dont know for sure

Oooooooooooooooooo, look at them 126 lbs gone!!! You go, Bear, but I don't like the smell of singed fur!!!! Well, you know, sometimes the truth hurts and if your Doc can't be honest with you, who can? How can they deny it? It's kinda easy to see when folks are heavier than normal - at least most of the time! How can you sue for such a thing? I could understand suing if the Doc had told other folks your medical info, but PUHLEASE!!!! Smoochies Arlies

Hiya Bear. Why, Welcome to America, the Land of Opportunity, where everyone can sue anyone for anything. It's a pity, isn't it? Come on. We know we're fat, we KNOW we need to lose weigh. I am guessing some folks will do anything for a buck, don't matter if it's a finger in a Wendy's chili or Michael Jackson. Anyways, Good job on the 126 lbs Barry. Keep up whatever you're doing!! WOHOO ~Andie~

Oh Barry you are so right. Doesnt it just seem like everyone is suing over the stupidest **** these days. lol lol I mean I might could understand her complaining to the guys bosses if he said and i quote "you are a fat lard ass and need to lose weight". lol lol but I saw this guys interview on the Today show yesterday and he very poiltly told her she was dangerously over weight and she agreed. I mean come on you know if you are a fat ass or not and should not have to be "told" by anyone but if your dr can not be honest with you arlies is exactly right who can? BTW congrats on the weight loss!!!!! Looking forward to seeing you soon. Love ya Denise

Hey Barry, Just thought about this after I posted. Maybe she will use the money she gets to have gastric bypass and at least get some weight off. lol lol hmmmmmmmmmm maybe she had that thought already and that is why she is sueing. lol lol Denise

I read that and was shocked. If your Doctor won't tell you who will????? Well now they'll be afraid to say anything so the death rate will go up and insurance claims for obesity related illnesses. Great, just great lady. I hope they laugh her out of the court house!!!!!!!!!!!

Hiya all!!! Congrats on the weight loss Barry!!! Where is that about this idiot who is suing the doctor for telling them they are fat. I'd like to read it. Thanks and have a great day!!! Amanda

Hi Amanda This was on msn video; http://www.msn.com look down to videohighlights click on the 2nd entry"Doc in trouble over obesity warning" it'll take you there and show a comercial first. the one I saw was some over the counter sleeping pill If you'd rather read it try: http://www.news8austin.com click on Headlines and almost down at the bottom is the Doctor investigated for 'obese' remark click on it and read away

I also found this on fox news... just put the www in front. foxnews.com/story/0,2933,166658,00.html

THAT IS CRAZY!! PEOPLE WILL SUE OVER ANYTHING THESE DAYS... I KNOW THE WAKE UP CALL I NEEDED WAS WHEN I WENT TO MY DOCTOR AFTER I HAD MY DAUGHTER AND I WAS LOOKING AT MY FILE AND IN HIS NOTES HE HAD 'PATIENT IS MORBIDLY OBESE'....I THOUGHT... MORBID??? WHAT DOES HE THINK? I'M LIKE A SIDE SHOW OR SOMETHING?? AT THE TIME I DIDIN'T REALLY UNDERSTAND WHAT THAT MEANT. MY FEELINGS WERE HURT AND I WAS A LITTLE EMBARRASSED BY IT, (I SORTA HAD A CRUSH ON HIM )(HE WAS A 'SUPER FINE' GYNECOLOGIST!) BUT HE WAS ONLY TELLING THE TRUTH AND SOMETIMES THE TRUTH HURTS. IT WAS THE WAKEUP CALL I NEEDED TO GET MY BOOTY IN GEAR AND DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. IT ALSO READ THAT ' I AM SURPRISED PATIENT HAD NO COMPLICATIONS DURING BIRTH, GIVEN THAT SHE IS MORBIDLY OBESE' I GUESS BECAUSE THERE ARE A LOT OF RISKS TO WOMEN WHO GIVE BIRTH THAT ARE MORBIDLY OBESE. I AM BLOWN AWAY BY THAT TOO, IF HE DIDN'T TELL HER SHE WAS OBESE, THEN WHAT KIND OF DOCTOR WOULD HE BE IF HE DIDN'T TELL HER THAT HER HEALTH WAS AT RISK BY BEING OBESE? SOME PEOPLE ARE JUST NUTS!!
