Need to vent....

As an RN working in orthopedics, I am constantly amazed at the number of morbidly obese people coming to the office complaining of knee pain, ankle pain, lower back pain and hip pain!!!!...and they have no idea why!! OMG, I feel like telling these people to try losing 100 pounds and they may feel the improvement. When someone 5'1'' weighs 280 pounds or more, don't you think they would have an idea they may be slightly overweight and stressing their joints??????????????????? STUPID people!!!!!!!!!! Disgusting too!!!!

Mental illness and obesity are two of the cash cows for Big Pharma; they don't want patients cured. They want them dependent on their drugs. So it's no surprise it's a rampant issue. It has nothing to do with obsessions with their cars. It's more about bad genetics, bad habits, bad training, and a complete lack of self-discipline.

@TexChik You can't say that the Buddha had no self-discipline.
