Are doctors suppose to be brutally honest?

My friend told me her doctor got in her face and was very blunt. She said she was in the borderline of diabetes and she is fat. She said she needs to lose weight immediately. My friend got offended and said, "It's just curves! I have meat on my bones." Then the doctor fired back at her. I can tell she is strict. I told her that the doctor made a good point and doctors should never sugarcoat it otherwise you'll end up dead. She had that look. I'm not going to sugarcoat either. Now she lost 20 pounds now! She was 250 and now she is 230 now. Yay!!! She is 5'0. I wish my doctors took me seriously. I'm 220lbs and I'm 6ft. Didn't show any concern at all!

honesty is good but so are bedside manners
