Per...I, too, love the topic you gave your students. Personally, the perfect scenario would be to find a doctor who had once been overweight and then lost the weight. From my experiences with doctors, when they see how heavy I am they are openly shocked and ill at ease. I won't say they have been outright disgusted, but they didn't hide their disapproval. I'd leave feeling really ashamed and not wanting to go back. It's the thing that I fear a great deal--some sort of illness setting in but not being caught in time because I'm too embarrassed to go to a doctor.<br /><br />I hope those students who are in the beginning stages of their career will have a higher level of empathy.<br /><br />It's so cool that you dove into sorting things out at home. I bet you came back at the end of the day and felt so much more at ease within your home.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00494198731243639436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-817953982491612075.post-47041527519805311002012-04-16T18:41:50.060+01:002012-04-16T18:41:50.060+01:00Wow!

My OB/GYN smoked but still advised me to quit at least during my pregnancy. As it turned out, smoking made me so sick that I quit and never smoked again. My husband also quit. That was 32 years ago.

Sometimes when I was at my heaviest, I would dread going to him because I knew my weight would come up. He talks about it everytime I go. If he was overweight and told me to lose weight, I'm sure I would not pay nearly as much attention to him or his advice. <br /><br />As far as the smoking goes, that's none of my business. I would assume that if one of my doctors smoked they would do it privately and not outside their office door in between visits. I live right by a hospital and see medical staff outside, hiding behind trees smoking all the time. To each their own. <br /><br />Doctors are people to and have issues like the rest of us. I'm sure most of them try really hard to set a good example for their patients.<br /><br />Great job getting stuff done today. Sometimes that is just as important as a good workout!Jennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14535420481037281507noreply@blogger.com
