New Doctor = Much Better! :)

[Guest guest]

Hello everyone,

My new doctor is much better. She never even mentioned my weight. I brought it

up! First I saw a nurse who gave me the fat speech. She was about 20 years old

and probably weighed 90lbs. I gave her my, " I know I'm fat speech " . Then I saw

the doctor, and saw that the nurse had written on my chart, " admits to eating

large amounts of 'healthy' food. " I complained to the doctor about getting the

fat speech, and what she wrote on the chart, and the doctor agreed with me! She

said, " like she (the nurse) would know what it is like to try and lose weight " .

I think I was in shock. The doctor isn't even overweight, and she seemed to

understand. Anyway, she listened to my concerns about muscle pains I've been

having, and didn't call me crazy, or blame it on my weight! She actually

ordered blood tests pertaining to the muscle pain, and not to being fat, ie

cholesterol, blood sugar, liver nubmers etc., and thinks I'm having inflammation

from a virus I had recently.

I was so discouraged from that last doctor that I almost didn't go today. I'm

glad I did.

Thanks for all the support everyone!
