Most of the time when people say they have an unpopular opinion, it turns out it’s actually pretty popular.

Do you have some that’s really unpopular and most likely will get you downvoted?

    If you’re obese you should not be allowed to work in a health care related field.

    I never can say this out loud, but it legitimately rubs me the wrong way.

        Fair enough. 100% convinced no bs. Work in Healthcare and have had bad experiences with big bitch nurses. Should not allow that to taint view of all the genuine big bitches out there.

        No better than a racist doing that.

        Had a rude obese nurse get up from a chair and her FUPA was exposed. Would this be similar to if someone flashed their dick to a coworker?

      I think healthcare can be more of a “do as I say, not as I do” situation. They can be perfectly knowledgable, even if they don’t follow their own advice. Life isn’t as easy as “just do it”, and it’s likely helpful for many people to work with someone who understands that.

        And if we don’t just cherry pick one thing and instead look at the litany of health issues that may be self-inflicted in medical professions, we probably wouldn’t be left with many doctors/nurses.

      You would’ve had me at military, law enforcement, fire, and EMS…but healthcare? That industry is already fucked and you want to send it back to the dark ages because, they’re not in shape?

      Everyone has there own version of obesity going on, but for some it’s their weight.

        I think it’s something along the same vein as an overweight fitness instructor. I think it’s an innate requisite that if someone is presenting as a professional, that has instructions for us to follow, that they at least have the appearance of following their own guidelines.

            I was simply replying what I thought the OP meant since no one was responding to the “Why?”. I do not condone or agree with the original unpopular opinion, but it’s nice to see that downvotes continue to be used for agreeing/disagreeing with statements instead of their intended usage.

      Hospital chain that I work for “punishes” overweight employees by not getting an annual, monetary “health reward”.
