Its sad how incredibly triggered some of you get over people living their lives in the way they choose that doesnt hurt you or anyone.
Trying to normalize an unhealthy weight is not living life in a way that "doesn't hurt anyone."

These cards are an example of being overly sensitive about an unhealthy weight and going in the wrong direction to normalizing it.

yes, but that doctor in particular is a weight loss/skin surgery doctor. His job is to do that. I'm talking you run of the mill general practitioner or family doctors.

A body positivity website has created free "Don't Weigh Me" cards for patients who find stepping on the scale at the doctor's office stressful.

If seeing/hearing your weight from an emotionless professional kauses stress, you're not really body positive at all. You're body ashamed and fragile.

Doctors can refuse to see children that are not vaccinated because that is not conducive to staying healthy. They should also be able to refuse patients that refuse to talk about their weight.

Minus the children I would agree.

Not judging anyone for being fat as long as there's an effort to do better. However this "let's pretend/ignore I'm not fat" and this culture that points fingers elsewhere, while making a "super size me" the normal diet is just as bad as anti vaxxers if they don't want to talk about it at the doctors.

The United States is among the top 15 most obese countries for a reason.

Your diet has a high probability to be causing the very problems of why you're there in the first place.

Most health conditions can be addressed without knowing my weight

As a pharmacist, here's what I have to say about that:

False, FALSE, and FALSE.

Everything from patient assessment to severity of disease to drug dosing and drug frequency require the patient's baseline characteristics.

I mean I get it. Im not happy with my weight and I avoid weighing myself at home. Whenever I get weighed at the doctors office and see the number, I want to cry (and often do on the way home). But I dont see the need for this card. If I didnt want to be weighed, Id simply ask the nurse to skip it. But I dont see the point in doing that.

I don't understand being ashamed of your weight. People can already tell if you're fat or not by looking at you. The number attached to it shouldn't be the embarrassing thing.

Honestly, if you don't monitor the number, it's more likely you are only going to get heavier and heavier. People should be watching it.

I'm 5'10" and I put 6' on my dating profile, because a lot of women think 6' is a requirement for them, fully unaware of how tall that actually is and perfectly unaware that they are attracted to men who are in the 5'9" range when they see then physically, in person. It's just for some reason the number 6' pops into their head as a requirement.

Even if they themselves do, others don't. And why they bitch, complain and expect the rest of society to conform.

Which it admittedly does for the most part. But health issues like covid, high blood pressure, diabetes or the hundreds of other crap their more susceptible to doesn't care.

They can tell. They are are programmed to be polite when they meet you in person.

And I know my daughters will be able to tell because they are on track to be 510-11 themselves.

I can't can't actually think of many medical things where fat isn't relevant, actually. Needs to be handled in most surgeries, obviously, and it affects how the body processes medicine.

They really can't.

I'm 5'9" and some women refused to believe that I wasn't at least 5'11" or 6 feet.

What you're not getting is that tons of dudes lies and it throws off the perception if what 6 feet actually looks like.

This is next level stupid. If I was a doctor I'd drop any patient who came in with a card like that.
Yeah I was wondering this myself. Like, if a patient came in and refused to let me weigh them, could that potentially leave me liable in some way if they have medical issues down the line? Would it be in my best interest to drop them for my own protection?
