Oh good Lord. Doctors can suck my dick. My doctor [who in general is pretty cool and is fully responsible for getting us infertility coverage without disclosing my partner's trans status to the insurance company (bless her heart)] also tells me to lose weight every time I complain of back or knee pain. Hello?! I know lots of fat people who don't have sciatica. I know losing weight definitely CAN help with back pain quite a lot... But it's not the be-all and end-all. Though of course you know this already.
We should save ourself the $$$ and just remind all our friends who are having pain issues or health problems that whatever is wrong, there's nothing a little weight loss and advil can't fix. And medicinal marijuana, and sometimes a little whiskey. Also occasionally amputation.
