Why you should consider a career in Obesity Medicine:

Reason #1: Essentially No Call

Yes, I occasionally have to decrease insulin because a patient’s glycemic control is improving too rapidly. I know! It’s a terrible problem to have.
Reason #2: Medication Deprescribing

How many of you get to routinely stop BP, Diabetes, antidepressants, and pain meds? Deprescribing is the new prescribing.
Reason #3: Highly Rewarding

When a patient loses weight for the first time in years. When you stop their pain meds because their knee or back stops hurting. When you throw away their CPAP because they no longer have OSA. These shared moments are special.
