EP 1: False Presumptions And Obesity

In this episode, Liz and Dr. Ed dive deep into the false presumptions the medical field makes about those who are overweight - and the negative consequences those assumptions can have.  We get to hear the real story of “Heather,” a woman who presents to the hospital because she has been vomiting whenever she eats.  Heather is overweight and says she may have an eating disorder.  But this case does not go where you think, and if the doctor treating her had jumped to conclusions without digging deeper, those presumptions would’ve had deadly consequences.Academy for Eating Disorders: https://www.aedweb.org/resources/professional-resourcesInstagram: @edonedpodcast Email: [email protected]
