The AMA suggests using different terms, therefore they think terms like morbidly obese are problematic, or they wouldn't be suggesting a change in terms. I wasn't claiming that the AMA was saying that saying morbidly obese is the same as saying the N word, and I reported that they were 'suggestions' as you point out, and you would know that if you read my posts. The document does not suggest to refer to individuals as 'people with morbid obesity' as you claim in your post. It says try using 'people with severe obesity'. This is bowing down to the anti-science fat acceptance movement by no longer referring to their health condition as 'morbid'.
Well, I see that you at least read the document this time. However, your reading comprehension is either completely in the toilet or is faulty due to ulterior motivations.
Of course intentionally ignorant would fit in nicely as a third option.
Edit-side note: Last night I thought about the article and how the guide will effect the medical professionals I know. My conclusion is not much. Most have to much on their plate already to be this concerned about patient feelings at the documents level. So, it turns out the the article IA posted and people like IA are simply stirring a basically empty pot.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
