    Has Yale partnered with Planet Fitness for the "no judgement" judgement zone? :huh:

    Since she went in for medical treatment, the doctors were obligated to ask her about her weight.

    Everything after that was overstepping their bounds. Forcing someone to go on medical leave for an issue not preventing them from doing their work is way over the top.

    The part about it that makes me shake my head is that if she did have an eating disorder, there's an excellent chance all that pushing and controlling behavior would have worsened the disorder, and all the focus on her weight would likely have been reinforcing.
