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!!!!

Oh and for people who are saying that she has a bad attitude, imagine if you had to deal with people who ruined their health through poor choices and then acted like they have no idea why they were so screwed up.

It's hard to feel sorry for people when they brought problems upon themselves. I don't know about anybody else but most times when life has kicked me in the butt it was my own fault. And people were very quick to remind me that it was my own poor choices
