80-year-old grandmother paralyzed by back-bending exercise sues famous doctor

Another medical dispute in the weight loss field has occurred. Well-known weight loss expert Dr. Xiao Dunren was accused by 80-year-old grandma Zhang Shuangmei. When she was attending a weight loss class, the health manager performed back-bending exercises on her, which caused a strain on her chest muscles. This resulted in moderate disability and she will have to wear diapers and sit in a wheelchair for the rest of her life. Therefore, Dr. Xiao decided to file a lawsuit. The doctor countered that the entire process was legal and there was no mishandling, and he would wait for the judicial investigation to restore justice.

Obesity affects health. Doctors say that eating less fatty foods is one way to lose weight, but exercise will be more effective.

Dr. Xiao Dunren said that at the end of the previous year, Zhang Shuangmei came to the clinic for treatment. Her BMI index was over 28, and she had metabolic syndrome, which made her prone to diseases such as stroke. In order to reduce the mortality rate, she was advised to eat less and exercise more, and was referred to the sports center that cooperated with the clinic for exercise. There was nothing wrong with the treatment.

It is understood that Xiao Dunren's clinic and sports center are located in different townhouses, but the two are connected and one can walk directly from the clinic to the sports center. However, Xiao Dunren emphasized that the two only have a cooperative relationship and the clinic has nothing to do with it. The other party's claim for more than 4 million yuan is really too exaggerated.

Dr. Xiao Dunren said that eating less fatty foods is one way to lose weight, but the effect will be better through exercise. Exercise is divided into strength training and aerobic exercise. In the past, patients who wanted to lose weight were generally recommended to use aerobic exercise to help lose weight, and patients were not encouraged to do strength training. However, recent studies have found that appropriate strength training exercises can help burn fat, and back reverse exercises are one type of strength training. This seems to overturn the past view that only aerobic exercise was promoted.

Doctors emphasize that the longer you exercise, the more calories you burn and the more obvious the weight loss effect, but it also increases the chance of sports injuries. The clinic's weight loss class did not handle Zhang Shuangmei's injury in any inappropriate manner. Participants in the weight loss class need to exercise more. The clinic has a cooperative relationship with the "Weight Watchers" aerobic exercise center. People with exercise needs or obesity will be referred there for training. Mrs. Zhang's sports injury has nothing to do with the clinic.
