Health Alert: Weighty Physician?

Physicians with a normal BMI, as compared to overweight and obese physicians, were more likely to engage their obese patients in weight loss discussions, 30% vs. 18%, and more likely to diagnose a patient as obese if they perceived the patient's BMI met or exceed their own, 93% vs. 7%.
