CNN ^ | Wed December 22, 2021 | Allegra Goodwin

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.

The cards, created by California-based More-Love.org, are available for free to individuals, excluding the cost of postage. There is also the option for businesses to purchase the cards, at $35 per 100 cards.

The cards read: "Please don't weigh me unless it's (really) medically necessary," adding "If you really need my weight, please tell me why so that I can give you my informed consent," as shown in photographs on More-Love.org:

Then don’t take blood pressure or run blood work because those can be stressful as well. Heck, why go to the doctor at all? Ignorance is bliss, right?

If you can’t look at the scale you probably aren’t going to like the diagnoses or treatment 🤪

Your doctor needs a record of your weight from visit to visit in order to make note of variation. Your weight can also be needed to set proper doses on some drugs.

The people who would want these cards are mostly likely at the doctor’s office BECAUSE of weight-related health issues, so...

And put black tape over the ‘check engine’ light. Ignore it and it will go away

"Please don't weigh me..."

"Ok, without weighing you, it's clear that you are morbidly obese and need to lose weight. Happy now?"

Lemme see if I got this.

Libtards are requesting informed consent when it comes to stepping on a scale (it says so in the article)

Experimental mRNA shots? Meh... stop quibbling and roll up your sleeve.

I’ve got a better idea. For a nominal fee of $25, the doctor should just send us a certificate in the mail that we are in perfect health.

Wait a minute here.

They are requesting to be weighed only if it’s medically necessary?

But demand everyone and his brother take an experimental shot? No interest or concern whatsoever with whether it is medically necessary?

Holy moly these people are mental.

— “Experimental mRNA shots? Meh... stop quibbling and roll up your sleeve.”

Your linking these stupid games together is right over the target. Rather like those who oppose “genetically modified organisms” when food, and cheer them on for experimental injections.”

— “Lemme see if I got this.”

Are you trying to annoy libtards? Brilliantly and logically.

Don’t forget to add at the end, “and have been vaccinated.”

The routine weigh -in and then the blood pressure test. Most of the worker bees do not know how to take blood pressure manually. Machine on the cart produces wildly variable results.
