The Fat Doctor Podcast Why I Can't Move On: Staying Put When I Want to Run Away
During my supposed break, I wrote a 45-page booklet called "Jenny Needs a New Knee, But She's Too Fat to Get One"—complete with 29 clinical references proving that denying joint replacements based on weight is medically unjustified and harmful. Coz that's what people do during their time off, right?
Instead of moving on to the next project like I always do, I'm trying something different and terrifying: staying put. In this vulnerable episode, I explore my lifelong pattern of pivoting when things get uncomfortable, the childhood trauma that drives my need to run, and why I'm fighting every instinct to abandon this work when fat patients desperately need advocates willing to stick around for the long haul.
