Absolutely her issue needs to be addressed, but not by insulting her. I hope you had the thoughts to take her mom or dad aside and tell them what they were allowing to happen to their daughter. anon 9:13..Please say you did not insult this 13 yr. old child that came to you for help?

Harrassing (sic) them about being overweight.</i><br/>Wait a minute. By the same logic are these doctors obese, because they also take harassment from patients like you or say lawyers. The list of factors causing obesity just getting long. It is sad that you are comfortable being coddled like a baby all the time, hoping it can strip off your individual responsibility as an adult. Please grow up. Nurses are overweight from the constant abuse they take from Drs. Harrassing (sic) them about being overweight.

Oddly enough, the trend doesn't hold for nurses, though I can't explain why.

Or, would you be drinking some JD while educating about the risk of alcohol consumption? <br/><br/>Why then would you not work to lose your own weight, if you are going to educate about the risks of being overweight? You teach by example! Well, when you tell patients they need to stop smoking, you wouldn’t do that while sitting there smoking a cigarette, would you.

Don't tell me I need to lose weight, when you have to stop after every 2 words to catch your breath.

1st. You are stuttering, please stop.

2nd. You’re quite deranged.

3rd. Why would I sue anyone? I thought it was you guys that made the magical 10.00×2/hr….Isn’t that what everyone has been harping on at Dr. charles?

4. May I buy you for what you’re worth? I would then like to sell you for what you “believe” you’re worth.

5. That would be one hell of a payday!
