    A Joke About a Serious Medical Matter

    Dr. Jackie thinks there are some problems that should not be joked about (OK Quad?).

    Mar 29

    Unfortunately, I was unable to make the Mariah's gathering "Doctors on the Doc," due to a conflict in my hospital schedule. Even though I did not attend, I heard there was a comment made by Quad regarding Kari's history of anorexia. There are some jokes that should never be made funny. Anorexia is a serious medical disorder.

    It's human nature to wish you looked different or that you were able to fix something about yourself. When it becomes a preoccupation with being thin, it could be a sign of an eating disorder. Anorexia nervosa is a complex eating disorder when the person refuses to maintain a healthy weight, has an intense fear of weight gain, and a distorted body image. It does not matter how skinny they become; it is never then enough. Some people with anorexia lose weight by radical dieting, excessive exercise, self-induced vomiting, or misusing laxatives. Many people with this disorder can suffer incurable organ damage, including: heart disease, kidney and liver disease, and osteoporosis. When this disease is left untreated, it will lead to death, due to organ failure.

    Dr. Jackie you are the one that told Dr. Simone if she thew up she's lose weight so what is the difference? Isn't throwing up to lose weight a illness? A sickness? Please let me know!

    Wow Dr. Jackie really brought this home and I love her style.  I know that she is not popular among the other wives but that is so unimportant.  They could stand to gain a lot from her if they just listen and follow, she is truly a welcomed honest spirit that the women need.

    I admire a woman with class such as you Dr. Jackie.  I say you and Dr. Simone should become role models for my girl, Quad.  I commend Quad for standing up for herself, but she does need to tone her reactions down a bit.

    I'm sorry Dr. Walters I'm not trying to be mean, but you and the other Doc look very good and have nice manners. The rest of the ladies look kinda rough I've never seen that many doctor's wives look so ugly. All that money and their make-up look like Bozo the clown did their faces. Its good to see a nice looking Doc have it going on. You are a class act.

     Ginger49 you are SO right.  These women must have NO mirrors.  I've never seen such hideous make up and weaves down to here with some much exposed forehead in my life.  That Quad needs to rethink the hair style and that nasty attitude she carries.

    Hello, Quad was not AWARE of Kari's past..... Secondly this coming out, I think will cause this issue to be talked more about and help people dealing with these. So regardless how it came out it came.... So get over it and stop trying to act so righteous.

    1. We did not need for you to explain what anorexia is. Get over yourself. 2. I'm sure Kari was under psychiatric care to treat her disease. Interesting that she looks down on that particular area of medicine.

    Dr.jackie,you really need to run out in the woody area and scream ten times and laughfor five mins.You are so caught up in your image that you'still uptight after work.Try for two days not concern about people or friends enjoyong a glass of wine and eating with their fingers and overweight.Start living!!!!!.:Quad made a quick witting remark with Kari attempt to make Quad uncomfortable, Ri

    QUAD,MADE A COMMENT ABOUT KARI'S eating and unaware of her health issues.Kari leaked her own health issue. I haven't seen so much bull about code/proper manners than Blacks finding another reason to cause division/conflict. I have attended social events/dining in mixed ethnic groups and its time to network/laugh/dance/joke/eat and whatever is pleasant for consenting adults.One other thing what happens at the party or dinner party stays there.Dr. jackie,you need to chill after work and embrace the enterxtainment and guest difference.

    It was a low mean blow,totally uncalled for. Quad is no class act no matter how much she pretends to be one. I hope they are watching ...but in their minds...the probably think all is well. Their husbands should be ashamed and appalled.

    I agree, anorexia is not something to joke about, PERIOD! However, one sensitive subject doesn't over shadow another, both were wrong!!!! Kari, started judging Quad and being rude from the beginning. If you don't want people to talk about you and hurt your feelings.... 1 don't go on  reality tv, 2 don't dish it if you can't take it, 3 get your head out of your pretentious butt and carry yourself with real class, not the pretend facade you portray!

    I've got news for you: these are not your peeps!

    Yes, I agree. But attacking someone's relationship/marriage is just as personal and private. Investing in one's health is the same as investing in your marriage. Hopefully, both will last a lifetime. -KAT

    You are my favorite cast member so far. It's nice to see a good role model on these shows.

    They are all taking pop shots at one another.  If Medical Mistress Kari can't stand the heat she should stay out of the kitchen.  She opened up that can of worms by starting this mess to begin with -- she and Tacky Toya.  All is fair in love and war.

    Thank you for being classy Dr Jackie! It's nice to see a woman of any color have class on one of these shows. For some reason, Bravo seems to believe they must have some loud mouthed rude person on the show to make it successful which I don't believe. It would really be great to see some supportive strong women for a change. Heaven knows young women could use some better role models these days!

    So true, Dr. Jackie. Her comments were cruel and far reaching.  It's nothing to joke about. 

     

    I'm keeping my fingers crossed that you continue to be professional and classy as the season progresses. 

     

    The other women have been immature and an embarrassment to the greater physician's wives' community.  Whether they agree or not, they are a reflection on their husbands and their practices and I'm appalled at what I've seen so far.  This is NOT the message that should be sent about the Atlanta medical community.
