    I had a guy argue with me that hypertension and high blood pressure were two different things. Finally I gave up, and asked what hypertension was (in his mind)... his response? When his blood pressure went up. I then proceeded to hit my head on the counter.

    Dr. Grumpy,

    This is a bit off-topic, but I found this set of hilarious lego-man medical skits, mostly in the ER. Here is one of a patient faking a seizure:

    Had a hearty laugh.

    Are they related to the patient that had "blood pressure?"

    My husband is always telling me I repeat myself. I hope it's not like this.
