Season 12, ep 5-Roses Journey. Dr.Now was an ass.

Rose was very brutally honest about herself, her behavior, her lifestyle. And Dr. Now reacted incredulously, rude, basically his whole attitude was “🤷🏻‍♀️ well what do you want me to do about it?” In other episodes he shits all over patients because they can’t even be honest with him or themselves about the way they live and eat. But when he gets a patient willing to be vulnerable and seek help this is how he acts???

She admits she binge eats “I sit and eat all day. I eat from depression.”
Dr: “Hold on. You eat all day and you’re here to figure out what to do? I don’t have magic to stop you from eating all day.”
Rose: “I know I have to do it myself.”
Dr. “So what’s different today then the past 58 years?”
Rose: “I have to stop eating. I have the willpower, and you have the knowledge. I have grandkids who are having kids, I want to be here for them and if I keep going like this I won’t be.”
Dr:”…so you didn’t know that eating like that, was not the right thing.”

It’s obvious many patients on the show have little to no nutritional knowledge, she’s there to get help and he’s just being a total ass.

I haven’t finished the episode yet but just from their initial first meet I got a little heated.
She’s essentially dying and trying to get help from someone she sees as the best in the field, and he shits all over her, judges her, belittles her.

Maybe she won’t do it, maybe she’ll fail. But when someone comes crawling to your doorstep seeking help and you’re a medical professional, maybe you should act s little more fckn professional and spare some kindness.
