HAHAHAHAHA
Should a Dr really have to apologize for telling an overweight individual that they need to lose weight for the sake of their health? isn't medical care and advice why you visit a Dr in the first place? I can see making a complaint if the Dr said "you're faaaaaaaat. not just fat, but ginormous. i'll bet when you lay on the beach Green Peace gathers around for rallies. Lose some weight fatass". but suggesting to a patient that being obese is going to kill them shouldn't really result in a complaint to the state board, should it?
