the truth hurts..


an obese new hampshire woman has filed a complaint with the new hampshire board of medicine against her doctor, dr. terry bennett. the source of the complaint ?? the doctor told the large lady that she was obese.

"I told a fat woman she was obese," Bennett says. "I tried to get her attention. I told her, 'You need to get on a program, join a group of like-minded people and peel off the weight that is going to kill you.'

she was highly offended and filed a complaint. dr. bennett even went so far as writing a letter of apology to the woman when he heard she was offended..

"Physicians have to be professional with patients and remember everyone is an individual. You should not be inflammatory or degrading to anyone," said physician board member Kevin Costin.

so, this is what we've come to in this country.. we're in a spot where your doctor can't tell you you're fat when you're fat. what's next, filing lawsuits or complaints against doctors when they diagnose you with cancer ? just one more place where the truth is under persecution in america.. if you're fat, you know it, i know it, we all know it.. does it hurt to hear it ? maybe, but it doesn't change the fact you're fat. fat fat fat. file a complaint.
