What part of the Hippocratic Oath does this refer to? If anything, the Oath specifies "us[ing] those dietary regimens which will benefit my patients according to my greatest ability and judgment".

I'm consistently 20-30 kilo above what was considered ideal weight for my height. It took 10 different visits to 10 different doctors to find my life-altering disease that was caused by basically a slow acting infection. 9 of them attributed my very real and severe symptoms to "well, what do you want from me, you're a fatty fat fat and until you fix this you will be bad and miserable and actually deserve it, and did I mentioned you're fat?". All of them were as smug as you are right now, all of them presumably thought that they're helping.
Now that that shit is fixed, I'm still the same weight, but weirdly enough, no symptoms and I am feeling good. Almost like my body type has nothing to do with anything.
And that's what the meme is referring to.

I heard Dr Mike saying the other day how we a doctor, prescription drugs suck. End of the day, they have serious risks vs benefit. But the one thing known to give you the benefit of drugs without the risk is lowering your weight. Like across the board it improves so many things. I don't envy doctors who know what the answer is but are told they're assholes for trying to help
