Depends on specialty
A doctor generally should be a role model to his/her patients.
How is a Fat/smoker/alcoholic GP Able to Convince his patient to lose weight/stop smoking/Stop drinking?
Bottomline
Aesthetics and derm docs you gotta look good.
Endocrine/bariatric surgery - you must not be fat
Paychiatry/addiction medicine - you should not drink or take drugs
Forsenic path - fat is actually good
