According to a據 survey調查 , about 66 percent of US adults are overweight or obese?約百分之六十六的美國成年人超重或肥胖? However, only 12 percent of US adults say they have ever been told by a doctor, nurse, or other health care professional about the weight issue.但是,只有百分之十二的美國成年人表示,他們從未告訴了醫生,護士或其他專業醫務人員的體重問題。 You may be wondering why these people were not told by doctors then.您可能想知道為什麼這些人沒有告訴醫生。 But, wait, should a doctor be responsible to inform his patient is overweight?但是,等待,應該負責的醫生告知他的病人是超重?
We have two camps of people here:我們有兩個營的人在這裡:
Those Who Against The Idea Of Doctor Telling Patients About Overweight Issue: 那些反對的理念醫生告訴患者超重問題:
- This is a sensitive subject, especially for people who have low self-esteem.這是一個敏感的問題,特別是對人民誰低自尊。 So, it is better to let someone who is very close to them to say those words, rather than doctor.所以,最好是讓別人誰非常接近,他們說這些話,而不是醫生。 Worse, some are embarrassed and do not want to hear about it.更糟糕的是,有些尷尬,不想聽到它。
- A lecture or “helpful reminder” may not work.講座或“有益的提醒”可能無法正常工作。 Just like people who smoke, some overweight people already knew about that they are overweight.就像人誰抽煙,一些超重的人已經知道,他們是超重。 They are reminded of it when they go shopping for clothes or when they look at mirror or when they look at models in magazine.他們提醒他們去的時候買衣服,或當他們看鏡子的時候,或是看模型雜誌。 Some even know the health implications.有些甚至不知道的健康影響。 So, if they choose to ignore it, it is nothing else a doctor can do.所以,如果他們選擇忽視它,它沒有別的醫生可以做。

Those Who Think That Doctor Should Point Out Obesity: 那些認為醫生應該指出肥胖:
- Doctors should point out anything that affects the health of their patients.醫生應當指出任何影響健康的病人。 Most patients will take note of what doctors have said, compared with advices from family members, friends or even personal trainers.大多數患者將注意到什麼醫生說,與建議,從家庭成員,朋友,甚至私人教練。 After all, doctor is someone who we look up to.畢竟,醫生是誰的人,我們仰望。
- If a doctor can inform someone who is underweight, he should do the same for people who are overweight too.如果醫生可以告訴別人誰是不足,他也應該這樣做的人誰是超重太多。
What Mun Thinks: 什麼門道思考:
- The doctor should look at the big picture and determining what the patient's lifestyle before telling the patients that they are fat.醫生應該審視全局,確定哪些病人的生活方式面前告訴病人,他們脂肪。
- A doctor should know the fine line between “informing”, “advising” and “judgmental lecturing”.醫生應該知道的罰款之間的界線“通知” , “諮詢”和“判斷講課” 。 Doctor should be tactful in how he deliver the message, but that does not mean he should beat around the bush.醫生應該委婉在他如何傳送郵件,但是,這並不意味著他應該拐彎抹角。 I do not expect the doctor will say sentence like this, “You are obese and your going to die,” and then walk away.我並不指望醫生會說這樣一句話: “你是肥胖和你就要死了” ,然後走開。 Give advice what to do.提供諮詢該怎麼辦。 Offer help.提供幫助。 Provide emotional support.提供情感支持。
- Doctor should make it a medical issue, not a beauty or appearance issue.醫生應成為一個醫學問題,而不是一個美麗或外觀問題。 By doing this, patients will find it easy to accept and listen.這樣,患者會發現很容易地接受和傾聽。 Also, a doctor who is in good shape tend to gain trust easily in this weight issue.此外,醫生誰是良好的狀態往往容易獲得信任的問題在這個重量。 I doubt that you will listen to a 300-pound doctor to tel you, “Hey, you are overweight.我懷疑,你將聆聽到300磅的醫生電話你, “嘿,你是超重。 You better watch your diet and do more exercise.”更好地為您看您的飲食和多做運動。 “

What do you think, should a doctor be responsible in informing his patient about overweight?你認為,應該負責的醫生告訴他的病人約超重?

I am a health care professional and overweight.我是一名專業醫務人員和超重。 I think a Doctor should mention to his patient the consequences of being over weight and ask the patient if it's something they want to work on and come up with a treatment plan that the patient is part of.我認為,醫生應該提到他的病人的後果超過重量,並要求患者如果這是他們想要的工作,並拿出一個治療計劃,病人的一部分。
Sometimes the encouragement and understanding, not critisim, of a person's excess weight, from their physcian is the motivation a person needs to get on a weight loss program.有時,鼓勵和理解,而不是critisim ,一個人的過重,從他們的動機physcian是一個人需要得到的減重計畫。 And like others have said, we try to please our doctors because we do look up to them.和其他人一樣說,我們嘗試請我們的醫生,因為我們仰望他們。 If the doctor is critical and condesending, then that'll just make the patient stay away and not seek treatment for other medical issues which will put their health at a even higher risk.如果醫生是很重要的, condesending ,那麼就會使患者遠離,而不是尋求治療其他醫療問題,將自己的健康著想,甚至更危險。 I agree that someone is probably not going to listen to an overweight doctor.我同意有人可能不會聽超重醫生。

i agree with you mun.我同意你的門。
doctor should be tactful about informing his/her patient that he/she is overweight and should also making it more on medical consequences of being overweight.醫生應該委婉有關通知他/她的病人,他/她是超重,還應該使更多的醫療後果體重過重。 The emotional part, I think it will sink into the patient's mind after doctor informed on what could happen if the patient let all the excess weight control his/her life.情感的一部分,我認為這將陷入患者的心後,醫生告知可能發生的,如果讓所有的病人控制體重超出他/她的生活。
of course, doctor should also one who walk the talk and should be in normal BMI rather than the one who is in the “morbidly obese” BMI.當然,醫生也應走在一個誰說話,並應在正常的體重指數,而不是一個誰是“病態肥胖”身體質量指數。

“What do you think, should a doctor be responsible in informing his patient about overweight?” “你認為,應該負責的醫生告訴他的病人約超重? ”
Yes, they should, but only once.是的,他們應該,但只有一次。 I personally have a tremendous amount of respect for fat people, especially VERY fat people, who are that way because they enjoy the lifestyle.我本人有大量的尊重胖人,尤其是非常胖的人,誰是這樣,因為他們享受的生活方式。
And why wouldn't one listen to a fat doctor speaking about the medical consequences of being overweight?為什麼會沒有一個聽脂肪醫生談到醫療後果超重? Merely because they choose to take risks doesn't mean they don't know the dangers of those risks…and they'd be much more likely to be able to speak from first hand experience.僅僅因為他們選擇承擔風險,但這並不意味著他們不知道的危險,這些風險... ,他們會更容易能說從第一手經驗。

I feel the doctor should notify the patient if he/she is overweight because uncontrolled weight led to a lot of future medical complications.我覺得醫生應通知病人,如果他/她是因為不加控制的體重超重導致很多未來的醫療並發症。 But most doctors would just say 'you just need to lose weight' without telling the 'hows'.但是,大多數醫生都只是說: '你只需要減肥'沒有告訴的'專利' 。 Most patients would have know that they need to lose weight- and a doctor should also identify if the overweight is attributed to depression- for that, it's a different form of treatment alltogether.大多數患者會知道,他們需要減肥和醫生也應確定如果超重的原因是抑鬱症,為的是,這是一種不同形式的治療總數。
