There is a GP in the practice I go to who makes a point of mentioning people's weight during every visit. He's actually overweight himself, and if you point that out he'll say, "That's for my doctor to worry about." The funny thing is, I think his heart is in the right place, he's just doesn't know how to talk to people without sounding arrogant, condescending, and dismissive.
