I had an appointment with my so-called doctor on Thursday May12. Usually her nurse checks the blood pressure, but she was off, so the good doctor did it using her automated device. After wrapping the cuff around my arm, she started the machine.. It started filling the cuff with air and then immediately deflated. She said my BP was 190/110. She then went to my right arm and this time the machine pumped and stopped 5 times until the pressure was actually hurting me, and then it deflated in an instant.. This time my BP was 220/120 I said the machine is out of whack as I’ve never been that high.. She said no, it’s accurate. I said I have a BP tested at home, and my BP ranges from 158/109 down to 114/78 and is usually around the 130/85 mark. I waited to see what she would do next, if she would use the old mechanical system she still had on the wall. She didn’t bat an eye and said that I needed to look after my high blood pressure and wrote down on a piece of paper, the drug… Coversyl (Permdopril) for me to consider.
I felt that the “good” doctor was knowing lying that the machine test was flawed, as she seemed unconcerned that my BP was that high, other than trying to get me on a drug. I’m sure any other “caring” doctor would have rushed me off to emergency for more tests if my BP was really that high. I’m going to be searching for a wholistic doctor, if I can find one that hasn’t been threatened and isn’t afraid to stand up against the ESTABLISHMENT. Or… none at all… as I feel that the body can really heal itself…
