Yeah, apparently cardiologists do this all of the time. Generates business for them, I guess. The longer they make you wait, the higher your blood pressure is going to get.
Let's see how long I sit in the waiting room tomorrow.....
Connie and I are both compiling logs of our blood pressure results for each day. Numbers are all over the place. She takes multiple readings per day, but I settle for just one. Yet you go to the doctor's office and already being rather apprehensive being there, your blood pressure registers as being high and they are ready to jump on giving you a prescription for blood pressure meds.
Must be a LOT of money in the commissions for prescribing medications, I guess.
