Does Stacey Abrams get the 1000 card discount ?
Good luck with that surgery where you aren't sedated enough to say so.......because you lied about your weight.
Yes, some meds are that critical.
Are these cards for people so huge they can’t speak?
Enserio? These heifers also avoid mirrors at any cost, too? Okay-so if they obviously are overweight, they get sent to a nutritionist, no matter if they get on the scale or not-do they want to have a card for that, too?
I could see where it would hurt your feelings if you stepped on the scale and it said, “ONE AT A TIME PLEASE.”
Doing a total assessment involves getting the patient’s full
status and history.
Weight plays a big part of a patient’s health.
It contributes to a variety of problems.
This Karen movement is not healthy for the patients. It’s just
another effort to take full responsibility off people who make
poor choices, and have no self-control.
None of us likes revealing how heavy we are. In the interest
of getting better, just answer the damned questions.
I’m overweight right now, so this goes for me as well.
As for those who have a medical condition they can’t control
that impacts their weight, it’s still important to let the
person trying to help you do their job, fully informed.
How do they expect to got proper dosages of meds?
ME: What!? No pizza? No burgers?
DOCTOR: No fatty, just don’t eat.
Scales in every Dr’s office support this.
For the "Don't Quantify My Obesity (and Gravity is Racist BTW)" crowd, apparently.
Don’t weigh me, bro.
Sometimes I hate the scale. Sometimes I love the scale.
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,”
“Informed consent” to be weighed? I just tell my doctor my weight. BTW, I’ve lost 80 pounds in the last 18 months.
It’s not weight bias, it’s standard medical care. If one is obese, a smoker, an alcoholic or a drug addict, expect to hear about it if one sees a decent doctor
Did CNN reprint a Bee article?
smh
Just write down “obese” and be done with it.
When I was 300 pounds, I dreaded having to get weighed. The only doctor I enjoyed going to was the ophthalmologist because she wouldn’t weigh me.
Then I developed lumbar spinal stenosis, and guess what the pain management doc told me? “I’ll start you with cortisone shots but it’s temporary. After that we can do surgery, or you can lose the weight.” That was the incentive. So far, I’m down 60 pounds and he was right; my pain’s gone WAY down.
Now, I like being weighed, LOL. I like seeing the reactions from my doctors.
My first goal was 50 pounds off. Now my next goal is 75. Slow and steady, maybe 1-2 pounds a week. So far, so good.
