Clinicians are being urged personally to fight fat lest their credibility, health and effectiveness are threatened. Contributing to burgeoning critical weight studies, this paper extends the analysis presented in 'Physician Heal Thyself', Part 1 (Monaghan, 2010). Drawing from over 200 postings from an Internet site, Medscape, on the subject of 'overweight' clinicians, this paper explores three types of accountability: the excusable, the critically compliant and the justifiably resistant. Centrally, this paper critiques obesity discourse, which encircles clinicians' embodied identities, and points the way towards an approach that makes sociological and clinical sense.
