DOCTORS' SHOW ONE RIGHT ONE WRONG

I watched 10 minutes of the Doctors show today.

Right
They had a 5 year old on who was 80 lb overweight along with his very obese parents. They (the parents) agreed to accept help for their problem (the kid did not look enthused). And what did they get right? They offered to help by providing a health and fitness trainer. Good move - doctor's recognizing that there are specialists who are not doctors who are much more qualified and suited to helping with obesity.

Wrong
The plastic surgeon did an extreme makeover reveal. Oh goodness he irritates me.

First. They showed the surgery on TV - it started with them wheeling the client into the OR and he appears in his OR garb saying "Show Time!"

Then during the reveal he referred to the client as his best work. HELLO - THERE WAS A PERSON STANDING THERE.

And to add insult, granted she had felt ugly but he says how tough and challenging a job it was for him.

The result. An attractive middle aged woman who bore no resemblance to the "before"

She will have to introduce herself to people constantly. Why couldn't he have 'improved' and accentuated her good features instead of making her into an image of what he thinks she should be. How insulting.

I wonder if once the glow is gone she will have problems adjusting to the totally different image in the mirror as well as adjusting to having people ignore her because they don't recognize her.
