Dr. Terry Bennett says he tells obese patients their weight is bad for their health and their love lives


Hmm. Personally, unless I am complaining about my lack of a love life to my doctor, I don't think any doctor has the right to say that excess weight will impact my love life. Because (a) that's my private business, and (b) plenty of overweight/obese people have healthy, fulfilling love lives. So I would be pretty ticked if he said something like that.

Even so, I'm not sure it's right of her to sue. America is too lawsuit happy these days, and I don't really like it. If it was me, I'd just find a new doc and badmouth him to all my friends, so they know not to go to him.
