Re: Blood pressure
Went to the docs earlier and it was Lindsey I saw, she's the nurse I've seen 6 times about the infected finger BTW.She asked how I was and I told her I had no more faith in the medical profession.
Her jaw dropped, . . I then whipped out the test tube with the item I'd extracted from my finger 2 weeks ago and started to explain how I pulled it out, she said . . "oh don't tell me, I'm feeling queezy", . . I told her to look away,
then I said . . "Lindsey, . . you're about to stick a needle in my arm to take blood my dear", . . she said, . . "I know but I don't like people describing things like that ".Anyways, . . the blood sample is to check my liver and kidney function, it seems Lisinopril can do them damage.
Tomorrow is another day however, . . I have an appointment with a new doctor in the practice, . . she's a lady doctor, . I'll say, . . "excuse me while I whip this out". . then show her the test tube, . hmm, . . she'll probably faint.
The ones I've worked with were as cool as cucumbers and tough as nails ( note to self: put that in the Expressions thread!) and wouldn't have been fazed at all. I'm awaiting the doctor's reaction with interest .....
