[@jwenting]

and very relatable. I'm seriously overweight myself (though nowhere near him) and I've had medical complaints utterly ignored as a result more than once. My GP for years never took me seriously, refused to even try to find out what was causing my problems, just claimed "eat less and all your complaints will go away", without ever even bothering to ask what I was actually eating and how much. He just assumed that because I was overweight I must be a glutton who binges on unhealthy junk food all day long. Wasn't until 15 years later that he retired, I got a new GP who did take me seriously and worked with me to find out what was causing my chronic inflammation problems and why no amount of dieting was helping me lose weight. Turned out it was that dieting that caused the inflammation, and the overload of carbohydrates in all the diets people were telling me were good (including dietitians) were not just preventing me from losing weight, they were making things worse by turning me into a diabetic with a nearly destroyed liver and kidneys. THAT realisation took a further 10 years of experimenting for different medication and diets, with moral but no medical support from my doctors (because by law they're not allowed to advise people to follow a low carbohydrate diet rich in meat and dairy without any processed plant proteins and vegetable oils, by law they're required to tell you to follow a high-carb, low-fat, diet full of processed junk). Turned out the vegetable oils and other processed junk people'd had me eat for decades as "the healthy choice" were causing all my problems. I've now ditched all of that, went on a diet made up almost exclusively of meat and dairy, and in 6 months time lost most of the 100lbs+ I was overweight, my kidneys and liver are back to working normal, my gout and arthritis are gone, my diabetes is under control, my blood pressure is lower than it's been in 25 years. Having a doctor who takes you seriously and doesn't write you off simply because you're overweight is a godsend that too many people don't get to experience before they die from something that their doctors could have cured if only they'd looked beyond the BMI scale to determine what's wrong with their patient.

[@TheFallenWarri0r]

@@jwenting How are doctors obligated by law to tell you to follow a high-carb, low fat diet? That's not the law anywhere lol Vegetable oils weren't causing your problems, however processed foods may have. Realistically your issue came from following a diet poor in protein which is the most satiating macronutrient and also is impossible (or near impossible) to store as fat. This may sound entitled, but during those 15 years of suffering you could have done a quick search and educated yourself on basic biochemistry/physiology and figured out that high protein diets are great for weight loss and management lol But yes overall I do agree with you that the level of care GPs and other doctors nowadays present is sub-par in a lot of cases.

[@4Astaroth]

@@jwenting My father was told he has to come out of his comfort zone and stop eating so much unhealthy processed and fast food. He always cooked himself and used up a good portion of time doing so each day. He's also working with heavy machines and tools, nearly 40 to 60kg tools. But that weight doctor or whatever it is called didn't believe him that he has to work with heavy stuff or that he was walking and hiking for kilometers in his spare time.

Life isn't fair, you can't always get what you want, it all relates to this. He came to peace with the diagnosis in such short time cause he always knew how life was. Really wish they made him have more impact on House or at least Cameron.

Come to think about it, he and house are nearly identical when it comes to their life choices. Both he and House deny fixing an issue because they're too comfortable with their adjusted way of living. House with his drug addiction, and the guy with his food addiction. Both are still stubborn as hell and somewhat analytical. He did get pissed off when he got blind but hey, House is still pissed off about his leg.

He tried to sort out injections (but told no as mine weren't dangerously low) but by that time I was drinking beef stock everyday. 2 months after that appointment I went from housebound and struggling to walk 350m to working a physical job and would be walking up a mountain a few more months later.

See, the frustrating thing here is the doctor could have explained that diabetes can occur even in people who aren't overweight, so technically, it isn't "related" to his weight. Your weight can increase the risk of diabetes, but medical problems are gonna do what they do best--occur even when it seems like they shouldn't. Same thing when he said "I never smoked." Smoking only increases a likelihood. It's not a guarantee that smoking will give you cancer, any more so than not smoking will lead to no cancer. The reason we take care of our bodies is simply to reduce risk probability of problems, but it isn't ever a guarantee that nothing bad will ever happen.

Exactly! Diabetes Type 2 runs like an artery in one side of my family. My mother was diagnosed with it at seventy, and, sure, she's had trouble with her weight all her life (not to a morbidly obese extent, but she's certainly spent more time being overweight than a healthy weight.) However, her father (my grandfather) was diagnosed with it at just 48 years old - and he was skinny as a greyhound his whole life, never had an ounce of excess fat on him. I've had PCOS for most of my adult life, which increases your odds for developing Diabetes Type 2, and while I've managed to keep my blood sugar out of the danger zone so far, I'm now in my early fifties, so I'm aware my risk is also getting higher the older I get. I'll obviously fight it for as long as I can, but eventually my genes might make the decision for me and I'll have to deal with that.

Just a quick comment on the weight limit/size limits of an MRI machine from a former hospital nurse. If a patient exceeded a certain weight or size (450 lbs. here is actually pretty accurate), a MRI at a facility with an open-MRI machine would be scheduled and a rapid response nurse from the hospital would have to accompany the patient. Don't recall the means of transportation, but I would assume it would be an ambulance suitable for a person of size.

Took over 30 years for someone to actually try testing my hormones to find out what was behind the inflammation no one believed, the weight gain despite healthy nutrition and professionally-guided exercise, etc. I literally started crying when my new doctor told me it wasn’t my fault; there was nothing I could have done to lose the weight on my own.

Obesity is not healthy, and I say this as an overweight person myself. But neither is it a moral failing nor (always) a result of gluttony, and fat people are often reduced to their weight by doctors - to the point where they (we) don't even seek care because we know it's no use. (Speaking from experience here - I have fibromyalgia, and until I started aggressively advocating for myself, doctors were always telling me lose weight and if it doesn't go away, come back and we'll try again. When they should approach the process of elimination the other way around. You literally have to get in there and say, "Is this the same advice you'd give a thin person?" PS, I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia at the lowest weight of my adult life, which was pretty average, and my heart is in such good shape an EMT said that my scan should be used in textbooks to indicate the ideal EKG reading.) I'm not saying obesity shouldn't be treated with concern - it's definitely impacting the quality of my life, which is why I'm on a journey to get back to where I started from when fibromyalgia first manifested - but it often has roots in conditions like depression, anxiety, or hypothyroidism, none of which can be bullied or dehumanised away. Put it this way - if the hippocratic oath means a doctor has to treat a neo-nazi's heart attack or a serial killer's prison shanking, then it should go well without saying that doctors should also treat fat people like something other than subhumanoid sloths.

Okay so many people in here are debating about how doctors prejudice costed this mans life. I get it, not cool stuff. But there is an important factor people are seeming to miss in here. House thought of lung cancer only because he touched the patients hands and felt that his fingers were clubbed. Now if you were to google what that type of fingers look like you'll see that they are pretty bizarre and immediately recognizable. But in this patients case, this symptom was hidden DUE TO HIS OBESITY. So if he wasn't obese then this symptom would've crossed the doctors eyes and they would've treated it much earlier and maybe he would've survived. Many are here saying how "fatphobic" doctors are for thinking every illness an obese person has, has something to do with their obesity but I doubt any of them are actually doctors. The fact is, when doctors see a person with a condition that stresses every organs in their body, over works and exhausts them, causes many issues or excelerate the development for other life threatening conditions then they are obviously going to blame that issue first. Also majority of the time, it IS something related to their obesity. To call bad names on a doctor for trying to treat the obvious and most occuring thing first is just trashy. Another reason for doctors to not take everything an obese person says at face value is cos like smoking, alcoholism and drug abuse, obesity is an addiction and addicts tend to lie. So it isn't unheard for obese people to underplay their condition just so they can continue to live their life like before. Also if you don't want to be treated this way for being obese, then don't be obese. Now I know that's not an option for some people but for a lot of them, it is. Stress, trauma etc can cause people to become obese so I hope people who are like that get the help they need and become better. That's all
