    Are we not obligated to inform our patients about potentially dangerous gains (or loss) in weight? Is it unethical to withhold this information in the face of adverse health outcomes associated with obesity or low BMI?

    Dear medical students and residents: Professional is NOT about wearing a suit, tie or dressing/acting a certain way Professionalism is about honesty, advocacy, truth telling and adherence to moral integrity Trust me. #MedTwitter #ethics #medicine #Medical
