I'm not a hypochondriac. I go to the doctor usually 1x a year. Last two visits, to both (different) complaints, he basically just said everything that was wrong with me was due to being overweight and would be resolved if I lost weight. Then mentioned that I should buy his book. He's a nice person and used to spend a reasonable amount of time with me. But both of these times, I felt dismissed. And both times, there was a legitimate medical reason for my complaints that came back once the tests were done, so they were not just because I'm overweight (and I'm not 200 lbs overweight).
