They don't teach common sense in Med school

I had a doctor appointment yesterday. I gimped in with my Frankenstein walk and cane and the girl asked my to "hop up" on the scale. LOL After managing that without falling, she took me to an exam room where she asked me to "hop up" onto an exam table. ROFL No way a crip can do that...we settled for stretching me out across the chairs (on which my head was banged on the metal frame....Ouch!). Then came EKG, blood drawing, temp, etc. and finally BP...it was a little high (138/90) I wonder why? LOL
With the girl's part done, I was left to wait for the doctor. You know how that goes. When he finally came in, he rechecked my BP and it was now up to 152....I wonder why? By then I had a slight headache (probably from the head banging). Does it ever dawn on them that they cause our BP to go up?
This morning, the news had the announcement that for people over 60 (that's me and most of you) BP under 150 is okay instead of insisting on our BP being 120 or lower. Gee...they finally noticed that we are not 20 anymore and our bodies have changed! Will wonders ever cease!?
The only thing decided yesterday was that there was a brain inside my skull (the girl determined this). The doctor forgot to set a follow up date and I never got my lollipop. I'm glad it's over. Now, I get to wait for the results.
