So I was listening to this fairly popular youtuber complaining how she's affraid to go to new doctors because they might refuse to look into her problem and just go "you just fat lol", how her gynecologist suggested weight loss surgery (ok that was weird .. i mean ... do you get obese down there??) without being asked etc. It's so weird to me. I'm obese, been overweight-obese-morbidly obese all my life. Never any doctor made any remark about my weight. They always took whatever my complaint was seriously. Once I went to the doc for strong knee pain, had a bunch of test made, and after hearing diagnosis I asked him "this is because I'm fat?" Only then, after hearing this magic f word coning from me, he nodded his head. He didn't even dare to say it out loud himself. And keep in mind, I'm from ex-soviet now EU country, political correctness is not very popular here. To be honest, I wish my doctors DID express more concern about my weight, although I don't blame them, it's a very difficult problem to treat, so much of it is purely mental. So, did you guys ever have negative experience with the doctors not wanting to take you seriously because you're fat? Is it realy that common like that youtuber complained and I'm just lucky, or was she just over-sensitive?
