I think the best point of the article is for people to get empowered. I tried to not get weighed last time I went to the doctor. I said no, but she brow beat me until I relented.

I was there for a rash on my foot. And, of course, the only thing we talked about was my weight. I HAD A RASH ON MY FOOT!

90% of my doctor visits end with me in tears on the drive home. They tell me to lose weight. They treat me with disgust. They say things like "everything looks good. Obviously, except for your weight." My stats are always great. I have no health problems. I work out and play sports religiously and yet, the refrain is always the same....

I hate Doctors. I have stopped going.
