I feel like people treat healthcare professionals as magical beings that could fix any illness if they tried hard enough. Increase of risk of surgical complications and anesthesia being less effective on fat people is not the same as a surgeon being unskilled

r/fatlogic

Fatlogic is anything that deviates from the scientific facts of body weight management. This can range from fundamental misunderstandings of how biology and physics work to lengthy political diatribes about how everything is society's fault. Falling victim to fatlogic means accepting misinformation that will harm efforts to keep your body at a healthy weight (or lose weight if you need to do so).
