Kind of like drug addiction, no?

BTW, your ads are getting really obnoxious. They have deterred me from reading on several occasions.

There are many worse things in life to be frustrated about then advertisements on a blog.

My Blog Is Not Your Golf Balls

no you cannot do anything till people stop trying to be politically correct about this issue. several years ago we were required to take obesity sensitivity courses...when admitted they are ENTITLED to big boy beds, commodes....there are never any dietary restrictions or consults ordered. fans are provided because they are always hot...expensive equipment is ordered to move them. Other patients' care suffer because 3 or 4 people may be required to do their care. People get hurt caring for them. Yet several years ago a woman attempted to sue her doctor for him telling her point blank she was too heavy. We are not so kind with smokers or drug addicts.but we pussyfoot around this issue. Airplanes have to carry more fuel because 150 passengers now weigh signicantly more than they did 20 years ago. It's an epidemic but we choose to put our blinders on. Even your post was wimpy..if you were posting about smoking you would have been much more blunt

"Other patients' care suffer because 3 or 4 people may be required to do their care."

Yep. And unlike the druggies, we can't kick them out for sneaking in food.

guess what?, your fat patient doesnt care if you have a bad time reading the X ray he/she is not going to read it YOU ARE GONNA READ IT, whether or not you like it, you have to solve the case being fat or not.

I don`t like fat patientes. In fact, I don`t like fat people.

They are guilty of their situation.

I agree with Happy Hospitalist: eco and x-ray are imposible, surgery is very dificult, the are not going to improve their ilness, ... it`s a disaster.

Yes. I have to read de s-ray and the ultrasound, but if I cant, I cant. I mean, I can write in the ultrasond report: "It`s imposible to see this and that, it`s imposible to get a proper image". And finally the problem is not mine, is patient`s problem.

alexy, I was checking out the functionality to see how it worked. It's back to previous now.

You missed my point. I don't object to ads on principle. You will hear no moral objection from me.

I object to the way they make your sight look. As in it is visually distasteful. Ugly. Unattractive. Irritating to read.

Get it now?

Surfing to someplace else more aesthetically pleasing.
