"Comments about my weight"

About: Sexual Health Services - South Staffordshire (Open Clinic)

(as other),

Went for my depo shot due to my doctors cancelling and the staff member I saw repeatedly mentioned my weight multiple times & tried to push different contraception onto me because of my weight. The staff member mentioned if im trying to loose weight and struggling to keep an eye on it as it can be hard to on the depo shot, but over all I feel they had no right to comment on my weight, my normal doctors dont, so this service shouldnt either.

First time visiting and wont be again your supposed to be helpful towards people not make them feel ugly or comment on their weight etc shocking!
