Oluwaseun Ikotun, Esther Wan Ching Lee The University of Manchester, Faculty of Biology, Medicine and Health, Manchester, UKCorrespondence: Oluwaseun IkotunThe University of Manchester, Faculty of Biology, Medicine and Health, Manchester, UKEmail [email protected] We read with interest the original work by Sobczak1 et al investigating the experiences of Polish patients, whom suffer with obesity, when interacting with healthcare professionals. As UK-based medical students and future clinicians we appreciate that as a society, improvements can be made in both our attitudes and our care of individuals with high body mass index (BMI). Therefore, we would like to offer our comments and address certain topics arising from the study.   View the original paper by Sobczak and colleagues
