It wasn’t very enjoyable. It seemed edited in some parts and the quality isn’t great. There was medical misinformation that the surgeon just kind of agreed with. Anna said she has genetic conditions based on a test she did where the doctor who tested her said it’s never been seen before. If it’s never been seen before then it’s not a condition and you can’t say it caused all Anna’s problems. Obesity is a big risk factor for lipedema. Anna lost a lot of weight and body fat in the past, with the same genetics. I think she’s correct in wondering if what her doctors are saying is really true. Also she’s been led to feel that she’s genetically defective and perhaps shouldn’t even have kids based on that. Her doctors seem irresponsible.
That said, Anna speaks well without excessive umms or pauses etc. Dr. Nance didn’t have much input. Based on first episode – Anna’s story
The Dr who refused her an exam & PAP smear should lose their license for malpractice. Your risk of female organ cancers goes up 800% for morbidly obese women. ANY woman who hasn’t had a PAP smear within a year should be given one.
The rest of this is hooey. We’ve seen and heard contradictions about her overeating junk for years, from Anna herself.
Spreads blatant medical misinformation
