because blood pressure tells you everything

my boss was a registered nurse (i don't know if her certification has expired by now). so she's the person everyone goes to for any health issues and well it seems psychological issues as well. just every day things that they like to dramatize into big issues. she also has basic first-aid items in her office - bandaids, ice packs, antiseptics, blood pressure cuff. why is it that there are a few people who go to her office and have their blood pressure taken EVERY FRICKIN WEEK. so you're stressed out, DUH you don't need your blood pressure taken every time you are to assure yourself that you're stressed out and affecting your heart rate. oh, and the people who really feel ill and nauseous? the bp cuff tells you NOTHING except the fact that you're not feeling well and, hey, PROBABLY STRESSED OUT. if you're really feeling that poorly, GO TO THE FREAKIN HOSPITAL. my boss is not your psychotherapist, doctor, best friend, and mother. she has her own work to do

Yeah! The subject finally comes up. I agree although not totally. If your older taking blood pressure meds, and you know someone who will save you a trip to the doctor, then why not. just don't do it every frickin week like most or all the people do here. You want to check your blood pressure regularly when you start new medication or if the dosage has changed. it's logical. and they figure that they can skip a weekly visit to the doctor which is so time consuming. but i totally agree with your rant esp. when that person has no history of high BP or isn't on med. If you feel bad, taking your BP won't do anything anyway it'll just make you worry even more. what idiots! Not knowing sometimes is better than knowing. Oh and by the way for her work not to be questioned she needs to keep up her certification. if not, everything that she has ever done comes into question.

Mary, quit bashing me on your blog while you should be working. I'm just trying to help my employees. One more post during work hours and you're fired.
