An enormously fat young woman comes in this morning feigning incredulity at her plight. I do my best to explain that it is basically a self induced phenomenon. We have already run tests to exclude possible reasons for her gross obesity (thyroid, diabetes, etc) all of which have drawn a blank.
"But what can I do?" she bleats.
Now this lady has already irritated me by blaming all her problems on the death of her (ageing) mother some 7 years earlier. To me this is a craven cop-out and in answer to her "what can I do?" I find myself responding:
"Well, you could put less food in your mouth"
She is horrified at my insensitivity and stalks off, promising to lodge a formal complaint.
So be it.
