Common Sense? Fat Chance...

Everyone, say it with me now... "personal responsibility." Sound it out if you have to. It's not hard... just accept it.

Only in the land where fast food restaurants are sued for 'making people fat' would a doctor be sued for telling a patient she needed to lose weight.

How does someone even come up with a witty comment on this?

If anything, it just proves that often times, facts, data and actual science are irrelevant. Absolutely useless. What is essential is understanding how to deliver a message which may often create an emotional backlash.

Perhaps this Doctor was too blunt, or not sympathetic enough, but does anyone disagree that obesity is a serious health issue? Of course not. So in effect, this doctor faces disciplinary action for not knowing how to deliver a message.

Something to think about.
