Not what the doctor ordered - medic falls foul of PC watchdogs

AS doctors warn more patients that they should lose weight, the advice has backfired on one medic.

A woman has filed a complaint saying his remarks were hurtful.

Dr Terry Bennett says he tells obese patients their weight is bad for their health and their love lives, but the lecture drove one patient to complain.

"I told a fat woman she was obese," Bennett says.

"I tried to get her attention. I told her: 'You need to get on a programme, join a group of like-minded people and peel off the weight that is going to kill you.' "

Politically correct health chiefs demanded he write a letter of apology to the woman, and go on a training course.
