    It’s also pertinent to certain medication dosing regimens which are weight based, but I’m sure most people just get triggered with their self-esteem issues when they step on the scale so they assume it’s for the doctor to poke fun at them for being fat.

      Yes, there are medical reasons to step on a scale.

      And if someone has had an eating disorder, stepping on a scale and being told to lose weight is the opposite of good medical practice.
