The story was just on FOX-- no additional facts:
He said she was fat.
She got mad and reported it.
He said it was his job to tell her about the health risks, but
apologized for hurting her feelings.

The apology makes me think he may have said some things that were a little non-medically blunt, but gosh, the apology really should be enough. I can't believe they would yank his license or do anything serious for that.

When our younger son was 4 months old, we took him to the ER one night for projectile vomiting and in obvious pain. He was diagnosed with possible intussusception and rushed to Children's Medical in Dallas for possible surgery. After a grueling few hours where we watched out poor infant be stuck, pumped full of barium and crucified on a bar for xrays, the surgeon came out to us and said in a rude voice, "I don;t know why they woke me up at 3 am for this. If he had it, it's gone now." And he walked out.
We felt so-- guilty! Like we should have apologized for our son. Imagine getting sick at midnight. Where were Ammo's manners!
Well, ok, we didn't really feel guilty.
Some doctors could use a little bedside manner training.
