Does a Doctor have the right to do this?Okay so i see a Gastroenterologist (A physician who specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of disorders of the gastrointestinal tract, including the esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, pancreas, liver, gallbladder, and biliary system) and i don't have any disorders or diseases with any of my functions but my liver had a funny outburst of pain and high enzymes but basically im just a little over weight than most 17 year olds not dramatically like baby fat and my doctor is a foreign doctor but he threats to use the cuff on my stomach or liver if i don't lose 5 lbs everytime i see him and i just have to lose 15lbs to be in the healthy weight range but he wants me to lose unrealistic weight in a unrealistic amounts of time and he doesnt care if i starve myself or develop a eating disorder he just wants me to lose the weight but i think this is wrong he encourages me to develop a eating disorder in order to lose more weight and on top of that he keeps treating me with the cuff over my stomach or liver to stop my eating and my mom works with doctors and she even told him herself that this isnt right its too extreme and too sudden for no reason
but i'm wondering if its okay for a doctor to be telling me things like this :/
my mom told me that maybe he is pulling the scare tatic on me but i try sooo hard to lose weight i even go to the gym 5 days a week and work out for 2 hours and even during school i work out and i adopted a crazy whole new diet plan! and he trys to make me lose about 10 lbs every two weeks and i once heard it takes like 2 weeks to lose barely 3 or 5 lbs :/ and i see him every 2 weeks also!!! im losing my mind with this doctor

That is awful!!! You should go to a different doctor and lodge a complaint about this one!! That is absolutely horrible of him to be saying that, he is supposed to be helping you not threatening you and being an ass about it!!!

no you can actually sue him for malpractice... you can't legally tell someone to move weight, much more REQUIRE them to lose weight. It is legal, however to recommend losing weight. I would go to another doctor... I would also contact his employers (if he has one) and tell them.

This doctor sounds like a f*ggot and you should get a new one.
You should not develope an eating disorder and you should not be told to lose stupid amounts of weight in stupid amounts of time.
Lose weight at a healthy pase.
Talk to your mom about the weightloss and tell that doctor to take a hike.
