Height measurement machine - #28658
I am really concerned after my recent trip to the doctor where they used this height measurement machine that just didn’t seem right. Like, I stood there barefoot, and the height measurement machine showed me as 5'6", but I swear last time I was measured, I was 5'8"! What’s even weirder is, when I asked the nurse about it, she said the height measurement machine was new and maybe needs adjusting? I mean, is there a chance a height measurement machine could be off? I feel like everyone, including my friends, keeps bringing up my height lately, like, how I’ve shrunk, and it’s kinda stressing me out! I even measured myself at home with a tape and got 5'7", but like, who's really trusting my skills over a height measurement machine at a doc’s office, right? Anyone else had issues with a height measurement machine before? Could a faulty one impact my other health assessments too, like if they use it for dosage calculations or something? Just trying to figure out if this height measurement machine is something I should get checked out or if I’m overreacting. Thanks!
