Health clinic and doctor's office in my town has a waiting room with a coke machine; snack vending machine with candy bars, chips, honey bun (mega fat), cookies and cake; and three gumball machines.

I was going to take a pic with my phone but one of the ladies saw me and said "don't do that."

This seems to be a conflict of interest.

how is it a conflict of interest? ... should the md assume that you cannot control yourself? ...

Sounds like a good business move. Like the fireman that starts fires.

That's how you create repeat customers.

The vending machines at the Oschsner hospital on Oneal are stocked with only healthy foods.

The most healthy item in the vending machine was baked Lay's potato chips. It had one of those large honey buns, which are packed with fat and sugar. Cheetos, big cookies, giant butterfingers and other candy bars and skittles filled up the machine.

There was nothing healthy about anything vended.

I think she heard me laughing and knew I was going to take a picture and post it online.

It's a small town so I refrained.

I bet you'd be really disappointed to know that there are doctors and nurses who smoke and drink alcohol.

This is more akin to a doctor having a cig vending machine in the waiting room.

Have any of it in moderation, and it's fine.

Exactly.

Overindulging on anything can make you fat.

It's not a conflict of interest. It's more of an indication that many doctors know little about preventing disease. They focus on curing temporarily.

You seriously think that the doctors that run the place are unaware that these types of food cause obesity/diabetes/etc...?

The cafeteria at Willis-Knighton in Shreveport had some damn good fried catfish last week.
