    Look around your doctor’s waiting room. Everyone is fat.

    Lots of people are old and age correlates with weight gain. But the volleyball player who blew out her ACL isn’t fat. Neither is the chemo patient who is back for a final round.

    How can those observations not color their general attitude?

    Doctor: “Feels like everyone I see is either sick or injured”

    Nurse: “Try spending less time in the ER”
