HAES and medical care.

If you are being mistreated, not getting appropriate treatment, or not having your symptoms adequately investigated by a health care provider because of your size GET ANOTHER PROVIDER STAT! It is your body, your health, and you deserve proper care. The blog "First, Do No Harm" http://fathealth.wordpress.com/ tells the... stories of how so many of us are routinely (mis)treated by medical professionals. Also, SAY SOMETHING! Complain, report the doctor, tell your story. You deserve to be heard. Don't let the doctors fat-shame you into being sick/injured and silent about poor treatment.
