Default PCOS mentionned on NIP/TUCK

PCOS was mentionned in Nip/Tuck, episode 7 of season 5...an overweight women gets into the office of the two surgeons as she is looking for her dad, then she as to respond to one of the surgeon remark as to her wieght and she answers..i believe if i got it right, since i am not a native speaker.. ' i have an ovarian condition'


that was it.....
i thought it was cool but at the same time..again it stigmatize women with PCOS as overweight..it can be the case indeed but i bet half of the cysters are of normal weight...and we know here that the wiegh is more due to the IR thing than the ovaries.
Also i noticed here in europe that most girl with PCOS do not have 'big' weight problem, and my endo also told me most of his PCOS girls arent overweight...well
