At 22, I had a doctor give me a morality lecture, and it still irritates me to this day that I just sat there nodding. I wasn't in your shoes so don't know how he came off, but giving a young person a lecture on morality isn't a bad thing to do. Think of it as a reality check. Morality isn't something that people made up just to keep you from having fun. It's there for a reason, or, rather, lots of reasons. Doctors are human beings, who have human relationships with patients. They aren't pill-dispensing robots. If you wanted a more bohemian doctor with a more bohemian sense of morality, then seeing an evangelist type was a bad idea.

As to your opinions of woman. I see a vast wasteland of totally ignorant human beings (no gender difference) with regards to all things science, health and technology. When it come to a condition that is a killer like being fat, I would expect a professional to err on the side of assuming ignorance in a patience. In that my facts on this issue from the beginning were the doctor had apologised and the woman had gone public, I did conclude the fat jerk was a fat jerk. I have seen no indication or hint that the fat jerk was not a fat jerk. I find it amusing you are upset a doctor thinking of your health, spoke to you of the only 100% method of avoiding deadly diseases. He may have used an indirect theme, but moral of the story was your health. As to you assertion somehow what was said fell outside of information or helpful advice. Clearly your comments imply yor are ignorant of some simple connections having to do with understanding social behavior and your health. Some things do need saying to those one concludes are ignorant of the health facts of life.
