It is all too common for fat patients to have their healthcare appointments hijacked by a healthcare practitioner who becomes completely obsessed with talking about weight and weight loss, no matter what they came in for. Obviously, this shouldn’t happen, but it does and one option to try to navigate it is to create an appointment action plan prior to the appointment.
This is fabulously helpful. I keep me questions on my phone that way when something comes up, I can put it directly into my phone. I've found that bringing a support person helps alot. They have a witness, so they are nicer. Plus 4 ears are better than 2 ears for remembering everything they say.
