Medical Student Practices Fat Shaming On Cadaver

INDIANAPOLIS-In an effort to get hands-on experience stigmatizing patients' bodies in a safe environment, Indiana University medical student Dylan Loera confirmed Wednesday that she was practicing fat shaming on a cadaver. At first it felt strange, but the opportunity to practice saying, Have you tried losing a few pounds?' in the flesh is so different than just shaking your head at a picture in a textbook," said the first-year student, adding that she felt humbled by the generosity of the deceased individual who donated their body so she could roll her eyes a few times and poke their stomach folds with an audible oof." After so many hours sitting in lectures, it was nice to finally put on my scrubs and reduce a patients' value as a human being by criticizing their weight. It almost feels like I'm right there in an actual medical practice, dismissing a fat patient's every concern while suppressing my laughter." Loera reportedly received a perfect score on her examination after informing a cadaver with cancer symptoms that there was nothing she could do for them if they weren't willing to help themselves.
