alt_poppyRolanda,
I do appreciate your speaking with me this morning of your concerns for Miss Frobisher's health and for bringing her up to be examined. I'm not at all convinced she would have come on her own.
I agree that she continues to be significantly underweight; you're quite right that she has both an unhealthy fixation on thinness and an entirely inaccurate view of her own size.
I have spoken to her in the past of the need to eat a balanced diet in reasonable portions. It would seem, however, that every word I have offered has fallen on deaf ears: she has, in fact, lost half a stone since the autumn when I treated her for an ankle fracture.
I have released her with instructions to return in two weeks, and I have requested that she make a sincere effort to gain two pounds during that time.
I will be mightily surprised if the matter proves so simple to resolve, but it is a first step towards ascertaining what approach will best serve this young woman.
