When patients come to see General Practitioners for support and care for their weight management, yet, all they feel is stigma and discrimination. General Practitioners just throw the blame back on them, which is supposed not to be the case.

Today she will talk about how she handles her patients, especially if they are not yet ready to talk about weight loss.
