It’s standard practice for doctors to take BP in stressful situations, and then try to admit the patient to the emergency room. Maybe it shouldn’t be, but it is.

Can you ‘splain that one?

Are they that dumb?

I asked my doctor what my BP was. He told me...and I said....take it again....He did and it was right on target....120/80.

Then he took my temperature...and it was 99.1. Told him I never run a temperature. He grabbed a different thermometer and took it again....and it was my usual 98.4. Digital stinks.

I still have my mercury thermometer.
