    • نبذة مختصرة :
      The article focuses on how negative beliefs about high body weights lead to bias-informed medicine that hurts rather than heals using a case study of Erin Towne. It mentions that in Towne's case, her doctors' fixation on weight loss to manage her diabetes led them to miss other red flags and even to reinforce her disordered eating behaviors. It also mentions that doctors focus on health benefits that can be reaped from improving behaviors related to diet and exercise.
