In this powerful episode, I examine the critical intersection of fatness, chronic pain, and medical bias. Drawing from both my professional expertise as a doctor and my personal experience with frozen shoulder, I expose how the medical system frequently fails fat patients seeking pain management – not through lack of treatment options, but through prejudice and assumptions.
Key moments:
- How doctors make assumptions about fat patients in pain [6:00]
- The medical trauma cycle and delayed care [9:18]
- The three types of pain: nociceptive, neuropathic, and nociplastic [13:20]
- Your rights as a patient with chronic pain [20:01]
- Practical steps for getting proper assessment and treatment [23:22]
- Ask Me Anything [34:21]
- Eveything You've Been Told About Weight Loss Is A Lie [39:14]
