You should be self conscious about your weight.

Were sorry, fatty.

Good lord, a nurse called you chubby (hardly a slur) in the other room and you went into a murderous rage? Talk about misdirected anger. If you're so hurt by being chubby, don't be chubby, you Chubby McChubber Chubbz.

Damn. You beat me arenit. I was going to post "in b4" but

NURSES ARE DICKS. SMART, OVERWORKED, LIFESAVING DICKS.

Yes...nurses are overworked and lifesaving. But still, patients have a right to expect at least some level of basic human respect from them.

Health care professionals have no greater license to disrespect people because of their weight than any other complete stranger does. And frankly, it's disgusting that people in this thread are defending the right of the nurse to be rude here.

There was no excuse for the nurse to be personally judgmental towards that patient-especially since the patient had already explained that she or he had been having health problems for much of the year, which would by itself be an explanation for why that patient might have put on weight and been less able to exercise.

"Damn. You beat me arenit."



Ooh, someone beat you at trolling, poor baby. That's what your ass gets for stepping away from the computer for 5 minutes. Next time, try wearing a diaper.

Not like you work or anything.

AN-- disrespect = chubby? We weren't there, so who knows who the rude one was.

But this IA doesn't present much other evidence of disrespect. If the nurse said "overweight" or "nearly obese", or "obese"...would that have made it better?

And weight is usually more about caloric intake and genetics, so control what you can, if you care.

sagging flint:

the nurse shouldn't have referenced the patient's weight at all, unless it was the direct cause of the patient's presence in the clinic or hospital...and even then should not have referenced it as a way to identify the patient.

She should just have said "the patient in the next room", and left it at that.

And yes, controlling calories can help with weight issues, but this was a patient who had had other medical issues that might have affected that...or possibly been on medications that affected the metabolism-and the patient had already told the nurse about her health history, which should have been enough to cause the nurse to refrain from snark or insensitivity.

It's just about treating people with a basic level of respect and dignity.

Why so serious?

Fatties love to fat.

You're hopeless, you know that?

Bless.

In my personal perspective, this is one of the ugliest Merc threads that i have ever read.

Not just this thread, but the body hating that happens here, all the time. Why? Seriously why? Do you hate a fellow human because they look different than you?

Maybe i am black, maybe i am fat. Maybe i am christian, maybe do alot of fucking Yoga.
It just may be that i am as ugly & as beautiful, as you.

This place has an odd obsession with fat. I don't get it. According to the commenters, all subjects of I,A and all anonymous entries are fat.

(Also I'm probably fat for writing this comment.)
