Part of this really cheeses me. If a doctor cannot advise you on your health without you being "offended" what is next that they cannot talk about that might be offensive? The articles doesn't go into exactly what the doctor said, so maybe the problem was more lack of tact than anything. If that was the case, I'd understand her possibly being offended if he spoke to her in a derogatory manner. I wish the article went into this more.
