"I have blood pressure spontaneously. I mean, I don't always have blood pressure, because most of the time I don't, but sometimes, out of the blue, it occurs."
A Blog detailing the insanity of my medical practice and the stupidity of everyday life.
Welcome to my whining!
This blog is entirely for entertainment purposes. All posts about patients, or my everyday life, or anything else may be fictional, or be my experience, or were submitted by a reader, or any combination of the above. Factual statements may or may not be accurate. I could be making all this up. I may not even be a doctor. The only true statement on here is that I probably drink more Diet Coke than you do. A lot more.

An RN who worked in public health told me their patients often presented with the complaint, "I got sinuses."
We in pathology call those "corpses."
Except for the 'it happens' part. Zombies, maybe?
Ooooooooo-kay.
Wv: solfusib which sounds like a good name for a drug for those who have sinuses.
I've always enjoyed people who ask if they should stop their medications because their blood pressure is now fine. They never seem to make the connection that it's fine because of their medications.
Ask them what happens when they stop putting gas into their car. It stops working, right? Same with the blood pressure meds - without them, your blood pressure doesn't stay fine for long.
I support the zombie theory. Or vampirism. Love the blog, by the way. =]
Life must feel like it ebbs and flows.
Random neurogenic syncope?
I'm sorry I took any "adult" beverages before I read your blog today. Wouldn't have needed it if I had just come here first! I hate to waste a good "comfort" sip...
Bit like "I've got a temperature". Like I always say, where would you be without it?
lol - my granny used to say she had 'blood pressure' - used to drive me nuts :-)
I hate those days when I don't have blood pressure. It usually means a "Venti" size at Starbucks......
I once knew a lady who complained on the days her blood was high!
