Rant Followed by Some Good News For Me
Okay, I work in an Internal Medicine clinic. Now, you would think that people in the health care field would be a little less obese. But, I am surrounded by "oompa-loompas"! I have actually had a co-worker say to me, while she literally had a full dozen doughnuts in front of her that she was shoveling in, "I don’t know why I can’t seem to lose any weight!" Or the nurses that say, "Can you go get this patient for me I just can’t walk that far." 75 percent of the nurses in my clinic are as wide as they are tall. And, these people are giving out nutritional and exercise advice!!! I even had a patient say that they would rather talk to another nurse about their weight concerns, because they know what it’s like to not have anything work for them. WTF??? When I had a physical a caouple of years back, this morbidly obese gentleman decided to counsel me on my dietary needs. Uhm, no wonder most people don’t follow their doctor’s advice, since their nurse doesn’t even follow a healthy diet and exercise.
Now, onto the good news. I have an evaluation appointment on the 8th of October to get my umbilical (belly-button) hernia repaired. Yay!!!
