I got an email from the doctor. She said I there was no reason why the BP med would raise my BP unless I was stressed. She said to keep taking it because it would take several days to begin to work.
I’m sorry, but I’m not interested in going through three or four more days of high BP. With my BP this morning, I’m convinced BP meds are not good for me, so she can say, “Patient is non-compliant” again.
I’ll stick with the herbs, thank you. And the one I ordered has been shipped.
PS: I just sent an email saying I will take my own BP before my next appointment.
It probably won't help for us to point out that this undoubtedly well-trained medical person is dangerously delusional about the universal efficacy of drugs in general, despite the presumable assumption that she did pay attention during the discussion, long ago perhaps, that not everyone has the same kind of reaction to certain drugs in particular, such as opiates.
We will deign to forgive her apparent lapse, but we will of course, continue to monitor her recommendations in the future.
I am not a doctor, nor do I play one on TV or on the Internet.
I am a poet.
