Shame and the Good Doctor
By FrancescaI do not know who this Dr. Rob is, but Francesca hearts him!
(Thanks to Dr. Nic for the link.)
P.S. Most of the comments to Dr. Rob’s post are fat-friendly, except those from a troll who claims to be an MD but really probably isn’t at all. Just pooh-pooh him and focus on the fascinating discussion about Cushing’s disease.

I wish this was my doctor. I actively avoid going to the doctor to take care of health issues because I want to avoid the chewing out that I always get about my weight.

Kudos to Dr. Rob for realizing that shaming is a pointless exercise (and that jeebus for that!). In contrast, these travel site readers believe by a margin of 2:1 that overweight folks deserve to be humiliated. http://www.smartertravel.com/blogs/today-in-travel/most-smartertravel-readers-favor-making-obese-flyers-buy-two-seats.html?id=2648094.
