Lmao that was the part that confused me the most too. Can she not speak for herself? Why does she have to bring a buddy along to advocate for her? "I can't bring my favorite fat person so I have to settle for this other thin person." How about you just go by yourself like a normal adult? Doctors visits really should be private, and the doctor would probably be more honest without a third party there judging everything (which I guess answers my question).
