Apparently there is an Ottawa Civic based high-risk obstetrician who has a habit when seeing women who have gained a significant amount of weight during their pregnancy to say,
"Gained a lot of weight there eh? Oink, oink."Horrifying.
If you're reading this and it's happened to you that a health care professional has made such a comment you really ought to complain to them and/or their Chief of Staff and/or to their regulatory College.
Unfortunately weight-bias does not elude health care.
Have you a similar story to share?
