Today, I have an excerpt from a presentation by Dr. Matthew Carmody at our Innovative Solutions for Lipedema & Lymphedema virtual symposium that was held in October 2021. Dr. Carmody is an internist and Obesity Medicine Specialist. He is on the faculty at the Harvard Medical School and had been assessing and treating lipedema for many years prior to his retirement a few years ago. In this excerpt, Dr. Carmody talks about recognizing and acknowledging anti-fat bias. He believes that obesity is not a choice and patients need to be treated with more compassion and respect.
