As a doctor I don't have to bc I get to sit down with you, talk to you, check your bloodwork (blood is honest 100% of the time), etc.
But to be flippant towards your comment yeah...I can at this point judge a book by its cover when it comes to weight, and I'm gonna be right 90% of the time. There are many clues in the phenotype bruh.
Exactly
In 4 yrs of med school, 1 yr of internship, 3 yrs of residency, and 1 yr of fellowship I've never seen a doctor tell a pt their weight problem is exclusively medical. Not once.
My n is several thousand pt interactions with other physicians in the room.
After training add another 2+ years of pt interactions and you're adding another several thousand.
Never seen it once.
An MD can't become a nutritionist bc there are only 24 hrs in a day.
MDs don't manage weight alone, they refer to ppl who do...Usually it is a combo of a nutritionist and a physical therapist.
How often you think patients follow up on those referrals?
I gotcha. I should clarify: they are not listening to nutritionists AT ALL.
Chaney probably used his knowledge of LeCounte's tendency to bite on a double move on the long td pass in the first quarter. Also thought that LeCounte was later getting over for their other td pass.
There are MDs who manage weight, especially in the Bariatric space. Typically the nutritionist is an RN and contracts with the doctor to handle the daily weight management and lifestyle modification.
Primary care do not focus exclusively on weight management unless their offices have a branch focusing on wellness; those that have wellness centers also focus on weight management.
You're right about that, and let me add something to support that ... If someone goes to see a bariatric surgeon, they don't get to just show up and schedule a gastric bypass. You have to go through about a 12 week program of dieting and lifestyle management, and if you succeed you get to have surgery assuming you still need it. You have to show that you're on board with the program bc it matters long term.
You how many ppl I've referred to bariatrics who refused to do that 2 to 3 month program? I don't know, but a lot...A LOT.
I ask them, "Are you just going to give up on this? That's it? Do you want to see your grandkids grow up or not?"
I've had ppl get up and walk out bc of that, and I don't really care if they do. They can find someone else to feel sorry for them bc I won't.
As for Chaney, I think the familiarity is overblown here. Giving credit where it’s due, Chaney is good at scripting the first 10-15 plays. He struggles to make adjustments, which was further evidenced yesterday.
He took their best WR and ensured he was covered by our 4th best coverage DB. It was highly effective. Add in a new QB that brought them life and juice. Add in a night game that was nationally televised. Add in the strong dislike between coaching staffs, players, fans, etc. As expected, they competed. They haven’t quit on Pruitt, yet. Our squad didn’t flinch though.
I said before the season started Fromm had a lot to prove and it would start by guiding this team through adversity. Last two weeks, he’s done that. That’s no longer a kid out there, he’s a GAM. When the General is unflappable, the troops follow his lead. He leadership out there is arguably the best I’ve seen at the position in UGA history. He knew they were beaten before they knew they were beaten, even when we were down. Did the same thing two weeks ago. That was first round pick, championship mettle last night. Chaney had very little to do with the outcome.
Very true statement. From patient testimonials “shame” is a big reason why though.
Chaney had a plan and had his offense coached up. That’s not going to be good enough when the talent disparity is as wide as it was yesterday. Im not sure there was an adjustment to be made. .
I'm on a long list of Georgia fans that had issues with Jim Chaney. However, for the first 16 minutes of that game Chaney made his true freshman QB look like a Heisman candidate.
I tend to disagree with this. Huge adjustment. We started to cover underneath with a LB, Star in trail, and safety over top on Jennings. That QB had one target in mind and it was Jennings. Wasn’t about Chaney, it’s about us. We do tend to play to the level of competition at times. I equate our game progression process of our staff to a boxer. Seems like we can script a great first drive, then we wait to see the counter punches to dictate we do. We’re **** good at responding to the counter attack but we’re not trying to knock them out in the first round (first quarter). Many of our fan base recognizes the talent disparity, but fails to recognize the disparity is in the depth; they think that every game should resemble a Tyson fight in his prime, KO in the first. The disparity is in the depth, not the starting 22. Depth starts to show after 15-20 mins of game play. Admittedly, they hung around longer than I anticipated.
Our team steps up to the level of play against the elite. Don’t wanna drag this post out but we will play to the level of every elite opponent. UT was more fired up to play us. Wanya Morris was talking **** from first snap, they were looking forward to this game. Just another step for us. Our poise shined last night imo.
Well said. We have to get used to getting everyone’s best shot these days. We are transitioning to a team that is confident and comfortable being the giant instead of the team trying to take down the giant. This is exactly what we need to finish off teams like bama.
We also have many of our fans that struggle to make this transition, myself included at times. We are not perfect but I think we have a veteran feel to this team in regards to leadership similar to 2017 but now with big game experience too. Not a bad combo.
