Buna sosyolojide damga diyoruz. Amerika'da ciddi bir sorun olan obezite bir damgalanma konusudur ve yapılan bir araştırmaya göre bu damgalanma nedeniyle doktorlar obez hastalara daha az vakit ayırıp, daha yanlış teşhisler koymaktadır. https://t.co/mV8efta18v

@nedk1119 @JimGleeson @greg_travis @karanjms @orntwo Do you think bariatric wards focus on anything other than "elective" amputation of the GI tract? Or is it that you think fat people don't deserve "healthcare" until they've gone through bariatric surgery? Here is, but one, study on medical weight bias. https://t.co/6J5td43WaB https://t.co/g4Zjm0CBVj
@AyudaMedicaMX @volandoando64 En unos tweets justificas tu posición diciendo "solo digo que incrementa probabilidades" pero aquí estás hablando de "sentencia".

@dimsie @Drdork74 @tclearwater_nz @Drdork74 there is a clear evidence base for @dimsie’s criticism that weight bias among doctors leads to patients not being offered appropriate treatment (my paraphrase) and having symptoms overlooked. This isn’t what we want for our patients, surely? https://t.co/UIuHMfUsjV https://t.co/LI7QzhfyXu

Weight stigma causes sustained cortisol production and subsequent negative health outcomes. (https://t.co/9eAgy0zrYd) It also leads to worse provider care. (https://t.co/0Tr7Og4pdI) So fat-shame violates the Hippocratic oath ("First do no harm). Can we stop now? #FatShame

@undercoverbs98 @FatsPostingLs (note: "fatphobia" is called weight bias and/or weight stigma in academic literature) https://t.co/tmm69F5hXU
@Siponthefluids Your comment makes no sense, especially bc in this case, the fatphobia she's describing has resulted in her getting inadeuate care. Her anecdotal evidence aligns w/ the data: Fatphobia in healthcare doesn't lead to better health, it leads to poorer health. https://t.co/tmm69F5hXU
@CasuallyGreg You're right, "fatphobia" is not a fear of fat ppl. It refers to stigma, bias and discrimination against fat ppl: https://t.co/tmm69F5hXU
@WhatQueerIsThis You're right, fatphobia isn't exactly like any other system of oppression. But fat ppl experience oppression nonetheless. Thanks to persistent and pervasive weight bias, fat ppl get consistently poorer health care: https://t.co/tmm69F5hXU [literature review]

@ScottAdamsSays @katapayadi https://t.co/2rzDZqGp6T Sorry, didn't attach the review in the first reply. Here it is.
Stigma on obesity makes people less likely to see a doctor, which can cause health problems to spin out of control. Medicine shouldn’t treat weight loss like a cure-all; it should address all aspects of patients’ needs. https://t.co/EpzMIzl0os https://t.co/6gY8qiNtKv
