    If my doctor had recommended that I lose weight, I would have shot back with, "Pay for my gym membership and hire Michael Symon (drools!) to come and cook healthy meals for me!" Huh, huh.

    People change their ways when they are darn good and ready to.
    Seriously?? So you'd have expected your doctor to arrange for your weight loss?? What ever happened to a person's own accountability and desire to help themselves? This is a huge problem that I encounter all the time. Patients come in and expect us to fix them. I'm sorry, but your health requires effort on your part, too. We are not here to fix them, but to educate and help them. Too often they are not willing to put even a minimal effort into their health. Sad.

    When my midwife put me on bed rest, I asked her to come cook, clean, and nanny my kids for me.
    She induced me the next morning.
    Some nurses are so lazy.
