General Discussion

Weight is a fundamental fact of one's health. It's a metric like height or age. For a physician to not record a patient's weight sounds like it borders on malpractice as one's weight has significant effects on one's overall health.

When Trump's so-called doctor reported his weight as 230 lbs., we all scoffed because we can see with our own eyes that Trump is closer to 275+ lbs. But it made Trump feel good to know he wasn't officially obese.

So, if doctors are trying to make their patients feel "better" by not recording their weight, the patient is not really serious about their health. I mean, it's like if you refused to allow blood to be drawn or to provide a urine sample. How is the doctor to evaluate one's health without fundamental metrics?

Too many Americans are overweight but won't admit it. As we've heard in other circumstance, fuck their feelings.
