A medical doctorate is not a cushy degree no matter what school you went to or what kind of "privelages" you've had in life. It's one of the most difficult degrees to complete and puts you about 200K in debt. Most doctors aren't even rich anymore outside some specialties since the cost of malpractice insurance has been skyrocketing alongside tuition costs. Its extremely hard work and a monumental achievement and it honestly disgusts me that these fat retards believe that Instagram toilet philosophers know better than people who have devoted their lives to the study of medicine at great personal cost. They're trying to save your worthless life, fatso!

It doesn't force the doctor to look beyond your weight. He knows you're a fat fuck the minute you walked in the door.

Yes, that's always my favorite thing about the "weight refusal" crowd. You really think without a number on a scale, the doctor is just mystified about your body size ad weight? Are you visiting a blind and deaf doctor who never touches you? Because believe it, pig, your doctor not only knows that you're hugely obese, s/he probably has a pretty good idea of exactly how much you weigh. S/he could probably guess ad be accurate to within 30-50 lbs. All you're accomplishing is proving to everyone that you're an asshole baby know-it-all.

doctor: we have a reliable, easy, inexpensive test that can can greatly improve your quality life if the results are out of the normal range
fatty: MUHH FEELINGS, fuck off bigot, you’re being insensitive to my need for crap quality pizza delivery
Every time.

Gee, I was at the hospital last Friday for some testing. The nurse said, "Step on the scale, please." I just did it. I guess I should have protested that my civil rights were being violated and reeed, "You don't need to know that! My sacred body which I love dearly is none of your business. You'll just have to guess how much anesthetic to give me!"

Make the idiots sign a waiver so the doc has a “get out of jail free” card.
[–] DorothyMantooth 0 points 1 point 1 point (+1|-0) ago
Oooh, that's an excellent idea!
(Didn't we see something like that here [quite] a while ago? Ohhh, no, it was about something else, but it was the same principal: make someone who thinks they know better sign a waiver acknowledging that they are putting their health at great risk [in the example I'm thinking of, it was their baby's health; it might have been elsewhere that I saw it] by refusing to do X or Y.)
I would love to see a form like that:
"I am refusing to be weighed or to discuss my weight today. I understand that by refusing to provide this vital medical information, I am limiting my doctor's ability to understand the full picture of my health, and by refusing to discuss or hear advice related to my weight, I am limiting my doctor's ability to properly treat my problem [or recommend proper treatment]. I understand that refusing to discuss or hear information related to my weight limits my own knowledge about my health and my risks for Type II Diabetes, heart disease, lung problems, skin infections and bacterium, joint and back problems, kidney and liver issues, foot problems, bone problems, and early death in general, and, if I already have any of those conditions, my refusal to discuss my weight or consider weight loss limits my doctor's ability to treat those issues, thereby increasing my risk of early death. I hereby agree that my doctor will not be held liable should any obesity-related illness, disease, or problem cause my early death or simply limit my quality of life. I hereby certify that I am taking charge of my own health and I believe I know my body better than my doctor and my medical knowledge is more extensive than that of my doctor, so should any of those illnesses occur, limit or destroy my quality of life, or cause my early death, the only person liable for that is myself."
I wonder how many fatties would actually sign that? Hahahaha! I love that idea, I really do!

When you take your car to be serviced, you go there to have the oil changed and the brakes checked. But what they also do is give you recommendations about other things they noticed. What if a mechanic didn't bother to report that there is a slow leak in one of your tyres or that your timing belt might need replacement soon? They would be a bad mechanic because the reason you're paying them is to identify more than the bleedingly obvious and to have more skills than rotating the tyres.
I went to have golf clubs fitted recently and the guy identified a problem I had and actually sent me away to fix it before he would recommend new golf sticks. He could have assumed that I live a Health at Every Swing Flaw lifestyle, but he informed me of something adjacent to why I was there because that's why you pay a professional.

Refusing to be weighed does the exact opposite of what this lardbrain thinks and just serves to focus the doctor's attention on its fatness, plus shows that they're touchy and uncooperative, and looking for pampering instead of actual solutions.

Fat doesn’t need a scale, it needs a straight jacket. If you aren’t even looking for someone to be honest with you about your health why the fuck are you even going to the doctor?
