My 600-lb Life: Dr. Now Gives Steven a Piece of His Mind For Not Showering Well
Dr. Now first asked Steven whether he knew what soap and water are. Then, he told him that Steven’s odor is making people puke outside. Well, Steven’s reaction was even more surprising. He didn’t say anything and just kept on smiling.
When Dr. Now asked when he showered last time, Steven said that it was day before yesterday. However, it didn’t seem like he believed Steven. He made him realize the importance of regular bathing. Steven also revealed that he had an allergy around his stomach area. Dr. Now stated that it was because he wasn’t showering regularly.
