Foul-mouthed surgeon blasts fat patient
February 11, 2010
A foul-mouthed New Zealand surgeon has been reprimanded after swearing at a severely obese patient.
A 44-year-old mother filed a complaint about the doctor after a tense consultation with him last year, The New Zealand Herald reports.
The doctor said f--- at least three times to the Maori woman after she told him she didn't like the word "diet" and preferred the term "lifestyle".
He told her she was, "going on a f---ing diet".
In the letter of complaint, the woman wrote: "[The doctor] said if I couldn't handle the word diet then he challenged my motivation and stated that I would never survive surgery because I was still bullshitting myself and therefore my thinking was still f---ed".
In response to the woman's concerns, the doctor said they no longer had a "therapeutic relationship" and scratched her from the gastric bypass waiting list.
New Zealand's Health and Disability Commissioner, Ron Paterson, said the doctor, who admitted using bad language, had been unprofessional and insulting.

good for him.
Although he might have been able to pick a little bit different term... most doctors call it a lifestyle change anyways

I love both.
On a related note, a heard on the radio a few years ago where a NY woman sued her doctor because he sent her to the zoo to get an MRI. Apparently she was morbidly obese and would not fit in the MRI machine. They had to use the device they use for the elephants. She claimed the fact the doctor ordered this was humiliating. Maybe she should have not ate so many cheeseburgers and fries.

My dad's doctor does this to him. My dad will go in for a checkup and the doctor will be like "Well, you gained four fucking pounds since your last visit!" Dad will be like..."Yea...the holidays got me"...and the doctor will say "ALWAYS A FUCKING EXCUSE!" Dad said it works though.

I guess being blunt is enough to have a lawsuit filed.

being blunt doesn't work in any facet of society anymore, period.
You're either gonna get sued or fired cuz you hurt somebody's feelings.

I'm sure it was humiliating. So what's her point? Not that doc's fault that it is humiliating.Little Danny wrote: She claimed the fact the doctor ordered this was humiliating.
