I used to work in a hospital and we've had patients so effen fat they couldn't fit into the CT scanner or MRI machine. It's disgusting. How is a surgeon supposed to operate if they can't get a picture of what they are operating on? "Obesity" isn't a "sickness" - it is a "lifestyle disease" - if people would stop eating junk food, stuffing their bodies with sodas, processed foods, high salt, MSG, aspartame, triple bacon burgers with cheese and deep-fried crap - ALL BY CHOICE, mind you - perhaps it wouldn't be such a problem. What society needs to do is educate people when they are kids about what constitutes "healthy" food, as opposed to fucking crap, then maybe there wouldn't be so many lard-asses that need medical care for no other reason than they couldn't stop stuffing their faces with non-nourishing food. I stand by that doctor and wish more doctors were like him....
