I think the issue here is not judgment, but the influence prejudice has on judgment.

People need to realize sometimes people actually do need to put their foot down and tell you that your behavior or lifestyle is unacceptable. Unfortunately, in today's PC world, where everyone is a unique snowflake and no one can handle criticism, people are likely to book and find a new provider if their doctor has enough cojones to actually tell them that maybe, just maybe they should cut back on the twinkies, stop smoking, quit using heroin, what have you. Even if your judgement is sound, it will often fall on deaf ears, because people often just don't want to, or care to, change.
