Correct, you are not a physician so stop playing like you know women's bodies. Ohio still ran #1 in opioid deaths? Fix that.

“Well, can we address issues around obesity them?”

Ok so fix the obesity problem which is based on the lack of affordable nutritious food, as well as education and proper social health care

I fucking hate Ohio. That corn needs burned and the ground plowed with salt

“It’s just individual cases”: what the actual hell?

"I'm not a physician"... then shut the fuck up about medical issues.

Where do constituents find these dinosaurs and how do they think this ideology will benefit anyone? This country is in trouble…

He lost me at "I'm not a physician.."

My sis almost died in childbirth because her Louisiana nurses insisted on giving her a painkiller she stated clearly she was allergic to.

That's fucking stupid and I am angry for her.

see other republican favorites such as "I'm not racist, but" and "I'm not gay, but"

Should've stopped talking after "I'm not a physician."

Always blaming women next republicans will start saying women have hysteria and it's their fault for having girls
savanik
You see, when you gather data on a lot of individual cases across a population, we call that 'statistics'. Doctors know how to use those.

"I'm not a physician." Good, then shut the fuck up and listen to them. (Ha ha, I'm kidding, of course. They never listen to professionals.)

"Fat people deserve to die" is a shit take.

Not fat people, fat women. If you can’t tell why this is a distinction, congratulations: you’re not a sociopath

Black women with college degrees have more risk in pregnancy than white women who didnt grad HS, but yeah, it's the lifestyle to blame. /s
imakeeper
Those women shouldn't have chosen the lifestyle of being black, obviously. /s

Reminiscent of the time Bill Cassidy said louisana maternal mortality rates are normal if you correct for race, aka exclude black people.

Is this genius accepting new gynecological patients?
Kagenical
I often make this joke about armchair psychiatrists on the internet, but in reality, I sure hope this guy isn't close to anyone's genitals.
ekacsyawlatonsti
Ooook..even if it were true that a mother being pregnant sized made her more likely to die, a death is a death is a death right? RIGHT??
Kagenical
This is easy to suss out. The risk of death for obese patients is 2-3x that of a woman with a normal BMI. So multiply the maternal 1/x
Kagenical
Mortality rates from any other developed nation to get a very imprecise, worst case scenario of the significant void in this logic.

You actually expect him to think that much about anything, let alone something that would prove him wrong?

America is on a precipice of fascism. This election will truly decide if it finally fails.

Black women have an incredible mortality rate for both baby and mom in US, regardless of their economic class or where they live.

while obesity does affect some stuff... blaming it ONLY on that is a fucking asshole shitlord move....
supercerealsteph
It’s almost like instead of looking at the data on causes of maternal mortality, he just took a wild guess. Oh wait, that’s what he did.
drcookieninja
It's a huge issue. We've accepted both as a society and medical community higher and higher weights as normal. But definitely not right here
drcookieninja
The American maternal mortality recently is and will increasing be, caused by draconian government involvement in the uterus.
Ekibwurm
only involvement from govs in uteruses should be 1. proper education at schools. 2. leaving the doctors to do their damned work as needed.
youngfarty
And regardless of how much body size is to blame, people don't deserve to die in childbirth just because they're fat.
Ekibwurm
no matter the reason or cause, leaving people to die when they can be saved is just cruel and inhuman
IHaveGreatKittenRecipes
Even if obesity was 100% to blame for maternal mortality, (it isn't), maybe it'd be a clue we need to figure out *why are Americans obese??*
TheCProgrammer
Subsidized sugar & corn. Too many ingredients. Food deserts. Many Americans cannot afford pay for better food. Non-walkable cities.
TheCProgrammer
To top it off, many Americans are overworked and do not have much free time.
SoundFuture
Terrible nutritional education by the government (sponsored by industry) is how it started. Curious to see if it will improve. We have /1

"I'm not a physician but..." OK great then STFU about anything related to medicine. And even if you were, I'd be skeptical.

Maybe, MAYBE a statistician could draw some sort of correlation with the right data, but he sure as shit isnt doing that

Who starts their sentence with, "I don't know what I'm talking about, but"

I think you should remove the '/s'. GQP policy is pretty much set in stone these days. Any truth to the rumor that Dean is a pedo?
itsallaboutthecones
Well he does have 10 kids. That combined with being a licensed plumber definitely counts for something, right?!?

Well according to another doctor ( who happens to be running for senate in PA ) , this representative is qualified to weigh in on this issue

“I’m not a physician,” should have been the end of the quote.

"I would imagine", like every one of these stupid assholes who think they can just figure out the answer rather than looking at the data

'I'm not _____' followed by 'But' is always going to be a bad take.
Thorbane
I dunno, I'm not a physician, but I'm pretty sure that his take is downright idiotic.
greenf1sh
So he's calling pregnant women fat? That'll go over well.
naught101
Only the dead ones

Better than calling a fat women pregnant. That's something you can't come back from.

I once had a cop stop me going through a metal detector because they thought I was pregnant. That was a great day for my mental health
