Thank you for sharing such a powerful and personal story. Your message is an important reminder that every patient deserves dignity, respect, and compassionate care, regardless of their size or health condition. I appreciate your willingness to speak up for those who often feel unseen or unheard. You are a force!!!

Dalia,
First, i'm so incredibly sorry for what your family went through. NO ONE should ever be treatd that way, for any reason whatsoever.

Second, YES! THANK YOU for saying what is so often unsaid — that weight is about so much more than willpower.

My youngest was a competitive bicyclist. She regularly went, literally 100 miles in a day on her bike. When we were seeing docs about her post-exertional malaise and her orthostatic intolerance, EVERYONE tried to blame her weight. When i explained how fit the girl was, then they would blame overtraining and yet also somehow come back to it being due to her weight. Drove me CRAZY and drove her away from medical care for a long time.

THANK YOu for saying what needs to be said.
