I found out many years ago that doctors aren't always nice to "fat" people. I worked for one who upon meeting me in the hallway would call me, "porky," say "you're puffing up a bit, aren't you?", and would belittle me about my weight on a daily basis. It badly warped my self-esteem, and I ended up quitting that job just to avoid the daily remarks!!
