"The Good Doctor"

[elcee 3,341]

The episode that was on Aussie TV last night was all about weight. One patient had extreme anorexia and the other patient needed to have his very successful bypass reversed because he had Crohn's disease. It was more dramatic because he had never told his husband that he used to be obese and had had a bypass.

I liked the first few episides but haven't watched in a while. Sounding more and more like House, MD (which I loved)

@elcee

The surgeons (on TV) working around patient in OR referred to WLS as the "easy way out"😠

I cringed loudly to myself - "i don't believe he just said that, a doctor""

I know, i couldn't believe it!!! "we" are all shocked, upset when we hear from our friends/family saying

"WLS is the easy way out" - but a Dr.?!! I know this is just a tv show - but many other "real" docs might feel the same way.

Yes I agree. Bummer man.

I guess the writers have their fingers on the pulse of our culture.

People still think it's elective to choose better health, by any means necessary...

I think you're right...

Yes I cringed too. Unfortunately that is the popular perception. What would have been good would have been if someone had corrected him .
