How does declining to be weighed improve healthcare? Don’t doctors need your exact weight for dosing medicine? In addition, can’t you just turn around on the scale and not have them say the number? Why is a whole video needed about how to avoid being weighed?

They have the impression that being weighed means the doctor will immediately prescribe weight loss as a treatment to whatever ailment they initially came to the doctor for, whether it is a sore throat, a joint issue or a rash. It put the responsibility on the fat to lose weight without any immediate solution to the issue they have now that is causing them pain. I mean, it's not as if the doctor can't see that you're a huge fatass just by looking at you and prescribe you weight loss regardless, but I think when the doctor realises that the patient declines to be weighed because 'muh HAES', he/she just throws expensive drugs at the fatty just to shut them up.

That’s hilarious, because the doctor can prescribe weight loss without weighing them, as it’s obvious they’re not a healthy weight at all hahaha.
