Unnecessary and harmful fat shaming

“I find these podcasts to be helpful as a medical student. However, the fat shaming in the “Weakness” episode is completely unnecessary. It doesn’t add to the case, and if anything discredits the host. He literally admitted that he didn’t bother to get the patient up during the initial exam because of her size, despite likely knowing that the weakness was worse with walking to the restroom. This poor physical exam led to him blowing off the full assessment of her chief complaint (weakness), until the next day when she insisted it was worse. This woman literally had to fall on the ground before her complaint was taken seriously. Turns out, she had a time sensitive spinal cord abscess and every moment wasted was risky. Rather than realizing and awknowledging this harmful bias in this case review, these guys chose to laugh about “breaking a sweat” to get her out of bed.
This podcast is directed toward medical education, and that behavior and lack of acknowledgement is an invite to continue this toxic cycle into the next generation of physicians. I urge you to check your biases and treat everyone with compassion to avoid careless mistakes such as the one made in this case. Listen to women, listen to fat people, believe them, do better.”

Their pearls, pet peeves and fingerprints are very useful and I learn several new things on every podcast. I've been recommending...”Read full review »
