Must ask the logic behind all the built-in weighing devices, I thought maybe to avoid transcription errors from scale to records, since the weight is recorded to the 1/10 of an ounce. This nurse did warn me when she would weigh me, but it has also been done discreetly. It has been years since I went to the Dr Westman's clinic; he didn’t have any of this space age furniture, but did use a Professional version of a bio impedance scale.
