If i ask why my gears are stripped he is welcome to tell me thats its from abuse of the gears due to improper use , but if he reffered to me as " the guy whu doesn't know how to shift properly" i would be pissed off also..
If you paid a plumber to clean your pipes and he told you , that your shit stinks , you would be pissed off.
Doctors are like pest control. If they did their job , you wouldn't be back.. A smart doctor would have told her she was skinny and needed to bulk up.

Your analogies are true, but aren't relevant to this case. A doctor telling a patient she is obese is nothing like a mechanic saying you drive like crap. A better example (that fits your mechanic story) would be a doctor telling a patient she has to stop eating Doritos and get off her fat ass - he has no idea she sits around all day and eats crap food. Similar to mr.mechanic making a note of your driving skills (or at least commenting on them - it could be your kid doing all the damage!)
Her doctor, we can assume, is fully qualified to determine that she is "obese".
Hell, my doctor is far more blunt - he has no qualms about telling you what you need to hear, whether you like it or not. That's why I go to him and not some guy who will tell me everything is rosy just to cover his ass.
