How about you tell the government that? Because I assure you, in this health system, there is no way a Dr is going to risk their arse suggesting preventative health care when there is no funding for it. You have 10 minutes with a GP, that is it, the most the majority of people get is a script for an essential medication. As if they have time to talk about prevention. She is a teacher, she doesn't have they money to pay to see a private dietitian, which she wouldn't be referred to anyway. Yep, in an ideal dream world that would work, but we aren't all rich, and the health system does not encourage prevention. And trust me, if a health professional said someone who is not overweight should lose weight, they would be sued and de-registered. You are living in an ideal world that doesn't exist in society anymore, I am talking about reality.
