I wonder what the statistics were regarding viewers of this show you mentioned.<br /><br />Given the way I've seen folks in the medical and psychiatric professions treating patients with eating disorders, I'd say they must have based their prescribed (non)treatment on what they saw in this show.<br /><br />At the last ED hospital I was in, criteria for discharge was based on, yep, you got it, weight. Criteria for insurance coverage was based on weight as well. Take this a step further: funding for these places may very well be based on how fast they can put weight on us and send us home, bags in hand, to deal with the emotional consequences alone and with minimal support. The support people we do have? Have they watched this movie as well? How can anyone really support us, with such myths being driven into their heads?<br /><br />Julie GreeneJulie Greenehttp://www.juliemadblogger.comnoreply@blogger.com
