Being weighed is rarely a pleasant experience. Not only that but it can be potentially harmful for those who are obsese, suffer from eating disorders or body dysmorphia as the whole experience can be triggering. Showing this card to your doctor gets the message across that you don’t want to be weighed unless it's absolutely necessary. This alleviates the stress that a patient can feel by having to vocally express that they don’t want to be weighed and would prefer not to know their weight.
