Does it matter if your cosmetic surgeon is fat?

Here is a question posed by a reader:

"Should I be concerned if my plastic surgeon is fat?"

At first it seems like a frivolous question, but maybe this reader raises a significant point. Will a person who does not care about their own health be able to take care of others? Does this hold true for all doctors? Does obesity impede a physician's ability to effectively perform strenuous surgical tasks that require dexterity and flexibility? Please add your own comments.

oh.
this is definitely a silly question.

Unless........unless you are implying that one can TRULY tell everything about a person's health just by looking at them. One can tell if the person is a habitual drug abuser, chronically sleep deprived, has heart disease, gum disease, chronic inflammation of joints, is an alcoholic, hardly eats vegetables and is constantly stressed, but most importantly, "who does not care about their own health" just by looking at them??? If so, woah, what a scientific discovery!

Now that is what I call progress!
(rolls eyes)

Question: Do you have that link to JunkFood Science because you actually read it or because like omg, it looks progressive and cool and stuff.

While I agree with the last comment that you can possibly know the details of a person's health from looks alone, I have to say that most people make judgments of a person based on their appearance. That's why cosmetic surgery has become so popular. And i do think that the way you plastic surgeon looks can greatly affect your view of them, and the care they might take in their work. For instance I don't want a shabby plastic surgeon, because I feel he might not pay attention to all the details. I want a clean, reasonably fit plastic surgeon.

This is quite an interesting post, well, I don't think it matters but I think that there are people who care about it. Nice, thanks.
