Angry Doctors

In Australia there is a real lack of obesity specialists.

The so-called obesity specialists we have in the two main cities - Melbourne & Sydney - are really stomach staple specialists.

I have found visiting the doctor a complete waste of time.
Albeit I am young and have nothing wrong phycially - except obesity.

If I had diabetes, heart problems or high blood pressure that would be another story. I definately think people should see a doctor about that stuff.

But doctors are uppity, cold bastards at times. They don't understand your postion and offer no solutions. I've been reffered to weight watchers - but thats about it.

Has anyone else in the triple digits club experienced this?

There is one Doctor I admire - Dr Atkins - but he's in NY!
