Weight Bias

I've experienced this throughout my obese adult life.  Obesity is one condition where the patient is chided for the condition, shamed and where a root cause isn't looked into and factors are not considered, advice isnt given other than saying improve diet and exercise habits.  When I was sent to a back specialist, he simply said lose weight.  I did, it still hurts.
