Although patient weight is commonly required to be part of appointment discussions and documentation, the vast majority of people are not in the office to talk about their weight regardless of whether or not it is the root of the issue that brought them in. They simply have no interest in doing the work to get on top of the problem.

The kicker is that given an opportunity, patients will complain on patient satisfaction surveys and/or to representatives (or even worse, social media or BS websites like healthgrades) that their doctor "was rude" or "called me fat" or "made me feel uncomfortable." Such is healthcare today.
