I watch because I'm fascinated by the patients who succeed. I could never do it.
Dr. Now likes GI surgery. People? Not so much. He's firm, which is necessary, but he's a bit cold.
The weight-loss program doesn't cover all the bases. Psych care should be mandatory. Patients should be provided with recipes and food prep tips. There are ways to make healthy food tasty. Ever had a roasted Brussel sprout? Yum!
As I write, Octavia's on the screen reaming Dr. Now about not addressing underlying issues and simply giving patients "a piece of paper." Go girl!
Invariably, these patients are surrounded by obese friends and family on high horses. It rarely occurs to them that their diets aren't exactly exemplary. They'll scold and belittle the patients with a mouthful of deep-fried ice cream. The worst part of these stories!
