| Re: Fattism
That would be an interesting thing to see JDP but there may be many people who are obese because of a medical reason but are unaware of it or be too self concious to ask for help.
I agree that for non urgent surgery that it is fair enough for doctors to consider not operating on an individual because of their weight, as that gives the patient a higher risk of complication. And as most doctors are in the business of saving lives, I think I would rather the doctors not take the risk of doing more harm than good than vice versa. |
