Really Pete, this isn't appropriate language for a practitioner to use, is

it?

Hi RS!

 

Have you always been so judgmental? I can't see her, and it is an important

question. I think it falls under the freedom of speech idea. I am surprised

that you are questioning that. Should doctors pussy-foot and beat around the

bush?

 

I could have said obese, corpulent, pudgy, overweight or any number of

feel-good euphemisms, but I think using these just fuels denial, which is not

a good thing.

 

If you are fat, you need to deal with it, rather than conspire to not have it

mentioned. I suggest Overeaters Anonymous to those who are fat, and OA

members will say the " f " word where it applies.

Pete,

 

As a practitioner you should adhere to correct medical terminology.

That's if you want to be respected as a practitioner. The correct

terms are overweight, obese or clinically obese. These all equate to

them being fat, but being fat is a vague measure and that's why its

not used in medicine.

Hi Attilio!

 

Being retired allows me the luxury of being plain-spoken :-) but as you wish.

I withdraw the f-word.

Pete,

 

If you've retired and don't wish to follow the correct terminology,

then why are you still a member of this forum?

Hi Attilio!

 

Hmm, a little edge to that question?, Nah, I'm imagining it.

 

I still have my license, I continue to see those patients who wish to see me,

and I volunteer where needed as well. However, I do not have to make office

rent, or indeed any rent every month.

 

To please you, I DID restate my question, and withdraw the f-word,

substituting the politically corrected term in its place. Perhaps you didn't

notice.

I'm not referring to the f word, its the use of correct terminology.

If we want to talk as practitioners then we should try and use the

correct terminology. We have enough problems with TCM terminology so

i don't see why we have to make it worse by not following WM

terminology, which is well founded, universal and known to most to us.

 

Edge? Don't know what you're talking about.
