When (and how) should weight be brought up?
Manage episode 515443542 series 2462950
For people in larger bodies, going to the doctor can be a minefield, even for common ailments.
Weight and weight loss can be brought up unprompted, and because of this some people avoid going to the doctors at all.
So how should weight be discussed in primary care? How do doctors avoid an overemphasis on weight, versus avoiding it entirely?
