Why is it that so many health care providers--nurses and technicians in particular--are grossly overweight? Many of these people are beyond fat, they're obscenely obese.
I don't understand how someone can care for those who are suffering from diabetes, heart conditions, high blood pressure, etc., (all diseases caused or aggravated by excess weight) and not be motivated to control his or her own weight. Having the end result of overeating right in front of should be motivating but it isn't.
Why? Is this simple denial? (I'm a health care worker. This won't happen to me.) Or is it over-identification with the patients? Or is the solace of food a way of battling the horror of watching over people as they die?
I don't really have an explanation but I'm stunned that these people provide such a poor example of healthy living to their patients.
