My mom works as a nurse a veteran’s clinic and today she told me a story about a patient who stormed out of the doctor’s office shouting that he was going to kill himself. When I asked her why he was so upset, she said that he was in incredible suffering due to a bad hip, but the doctor wouldn’t perform surgery on him until he lost weight because he was obese. So the man said he was going to take his own life instead of live in that much pain..
