Airplane bathrooms are not exactly nice comfortable places.  Would you want to eat something  that had been prepared in a bathroom?  People go have sex in those bathrooms.  If national security didn't restrict what sort of bottles could be carried on the plane, may be she could have done it before the flight.    I...more

So what is your point?  Are you saying because she is fat she should not be able to get a massage anywhere?  That a person should be humiliated and stripped of their dignity? That common courtesy is contingent on weight?

What kind of cheapa$$ place did she go? What do they use, lawnchairs? I am heavier than that woman and have never been refused.

It is one thing to wait when one knows one will get the doctor's full attention at the...more

She did not break confidentiality. She did not give us her name address or any identifying information. If this were a breach of privacy, no article in any medical journal would ever be written. Furthermore, the doctor is correct. Not showing up for appointments or arriving hours late is disrespectful to the doctor an...more
