Two Scales Yield Accurate Weight For Obese Patients

Article

The weight of some of my patients exceeds the upper limit of our office scales. Rather than invest in a more expensive scale for this small group of patients, we placed 2 scales side by side. Patients can put one foot on each scale and need not even try to balance their weight equally between the two. The numbers on the scales can be added together to determine a reasonably accurate total weight.
