Cutting losses to spend time with other patients isn't ignoring that little medical fact. It's an acknowledgement of it; all the effort spent treating the symptoms of obesity is basically wasted, squandering the resources (time particularly) of the medical system.

Except the post directly criticizes one of the major new ways of reducing that effort.

Someone genuinely worried about obesity wasting doctors' time should be all for stuff like Ozempic.

As far as I see, the only one directly talking about Ozempic is you.

I welcome your alternative explanation of what "instead of giving them shots" meant.

Are you suggesting that the purpose of the medical system is not to treat medical conditions? I suppose if they took that tack, yes, the system would be more efficient.
