General Practitioner

matthewkevin84

My male General Practitioner is soon coming round to my abode (assisted living) for what I believe a general catch up.

in the past he has weighed me and had in fact said that in other words my abode at my assisted living place would be in jeopardy if I didn’t comply with his wish of being weighed, with this in mind I complied.

What I wish to know is supposing I on this occasion refuse to be weighed could I be potentially be putting my assisted living accommodation in jeopardy.

Perhaps other people have found themselves in similar situations?

Hi @matthewkevin84, sorry you haven't had a response to this so far.

How did it go with your GP? Hope it all went okay!

Your GP has no right to insist on weighing you.

I would refuse point blank and tell him it has nothing to do with your housing needs.

Actually he was absolutely fine with not weighing me!
