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!!!!

Most people who are overweight no it telling them won’t help, if more time and money was spent on finding the cause of their obesity their relationship with food you would have more success rather than quick surgical fixes .
My wife’s a big girl and when a doctor would go on about weight she would go to a drive through for a binge to spite them
