I have heard this is because medication prescriptions are based upon body weight in kgs, and this reduces risk of wrong dosage due to conversion (lbs to kgs) error.
Damn, if a doctor or pharmacist can't do these simple conversions, they shouldn't have a license.

If you can't do kg x 2.2 in your head, I feel sorry for you.
It’s like some people look for friction.
Who said converting to metric measurement is a problem?
Curious why the change.
Convert your spirit to less friction-focused mindset. Friction coefficient is 0.75. Do it.

Stop being fat and disgusting and you won't have to worry about medications or going to a doctor. Doctors are for pregnant women and the elderly.
Funny!
Workout 5X per week. Eat to live. No GLP-1 mindset here. Old school meds…500mg of cardio and fruits n vegetables.

Worse, reading comprehension!
This is a why the change / curiosity question, not a math conversion question.
I’d share what I used to do for a 30-year career to case in point this, but reading comprehension might not land the point. Kidding.
Just why…is the ?

Not a how post but rather a why post. Why the change?

Just multiple by 2.2
It works all the same

Maybe the medical field finally figured out metric is superior and is what we should all be using.
Nearly every day I work I run into something where I'm like "it would be better if everyone moved to metric for this."
I'll take the downvotes for being a communist, but deep down you know I'm right. Base 10 is so much easier than what ever hodgepodge we still use.

The only place I see kg's on a scale is my vetinarian.

No way a doc is giving me my weight in kg. If I wanted to live in England, I'd move there.
