For example, in medical school and residency training, there's a definite lack of training and a lack of understanding of eating disorders. Like Ms. Phoenix said for the NPs, for the doctors there would be a mandatory lecture on the symptoms of anorexia nervosa and that kind of thing, but never enough time or depth to really understand and appreciate these patients, what they're going through, and the kind of help they need. Certainly, the poor family doctors are so overwhelmed that they don't have the time to really learn about these illnesses.
