This has to be the most daft idea ever.

Medical science relies on so many crucial data points based on mass, which is most easily determined via measuring weight.

Without your weight: A Doctor cannot safely prescribe anything. A Doctor cannot verify whether changes in your weight may containdicate a pre-existing course of treatment. Second-opinions to sanity check a physician making a high impact diagnosis is right out.

What is wrong with people? Valuing avoidance of being confronted with an objective fact that makes you feel bad over not dying or not being treatable?

I just don't understand.

You can be squeamish with just about everyone else. Never your Physician.
