What Is Clinical Obesity?

I’ve now had eleven different doctors ask me about this article, so let’s talk about it! Here is one of the emails:

“I’m an MD and I just read this article in Medscape about “clinical ob*sity.” Should I be worried? I feel like I should be worried. I understand it hasn’t happened yet, but it seems like one of those things that will happen all at once without any chance to pushback. Any ideas on how to handle this?”
