I'm sure the doctor in this case wasn't vegetarian and was just trying to help his patient the only way he knew how, that is, the doctor probably didn't know enough about vegetarian nutrition to help his patient resolve his issue while maintaining a vegetarian diet. And, yes, if someone is dedicated to a vegetarian diet and was having health problems that may be attributed to the diet they should seek a doctor that is familiar with vegetarian diets. What was ridiculous about it? The article was based on a survey, according to the survey the top reason vegetarians return to eating meat are health issues. You may not like that these people didn't seek help, but I was citing this as evidence that many vegetarians and vegans have trouble thriving due to poor nutritional information. This is one of the few surveys on the topic.
