..."The people whose job it is to care for people, a lot of them have the attitude, `You deserve it.' Right now, people with substance abuse issues get more respect and better health care treatment..."
As a nurse, I can explain that one: we don't have to herniate our own discs lifting the huge, massively heavy buttocks of substance abusers. We may not feel that they are morally superior to the super-obese, but by gosh at least they're lighter! Try lifting some 500+ pound patient off the floor sometime, or cleaning them up, or transferring them to a bed from a stretcher... tell me you wouldn't complain!
