    I actually really appreciate the weight check at my doctor. I’ll often request it if they skip it.

    It means if I remember to take 3 sample weights at home (to make sure I’m not stepping funny or whatever; it’s kinda sensitive), I can verify the accuracy of my scale without actually doing anything. This is important for me because I only use the scale every few months to make sure I’m still within my healthy range (I tend to rapidly lose weight when stressed or depressed)

    Same with blood pressure. I have a cuff at home but I rarely use it. It’s good to verify it’s working properly.
