Did anyone see one of the top stories on AOL about a week ago with the picture of the Dove (soap) “models”? (They are “plus sized”). The headline read “Skinny is so Over”. It’s ok to be fat now folks. The media said so.

I thought the dove models were fairly decent looking. Is there like a chubby chasers anonymous where I can go?

I live in NH. This was in the local news months ago. I heard he said, “If you get any bigger not even a black man will want you.” The media makes it sound like he is in trouble for telling her she is obese but it is how he said it.
I do believe that a doctor has the responsibility to tell a patient they are obese, especially a pediatrician, but what he said was wrong.[/quote]
The court wasn’t ruling on whether what he said was right or wrong, but rather whether the Board of Medicine had the power to reprimand him for how he delivered the message.
“While the Court does not in any way condone the type of comments made by the petitioner, it is nonetheless important, as a general matter, to ensure that physicians and patients are free to discuss matters relating to health without fear of government reprisal, even if such discussions may sometimes be harsh, rude or offensive to the listener, Fitzgerald wrote.”
According to the doctor, the message was taken out of context:

My sister to her doc after her quitting smoking… “I seem to be gaining a lot of weight.”
Doc…" Quit putting things in your mouth"
LOL

I really don’t think she will win this case. It has far less merit than the McDonald’s coffee case which was also pretty ridiculous.[/quote]
I don’t think that this woman has any case at all, and should’t be allowed to stand before court with this. But the McD’s coffee woman suffered third degree burns on both thighs from their coffee. I guess I’m in the minority that thinks you shouldn’t be selling a beverage that’s so hot it’s disfiguring.
