I wish the entire concept of blood pressure did not exist. I wish nobody knew it was something to measure. They might know that blood flows around the body, but are totally unaware of the entire concept of blood pressure.
Or I would be happy if it was unmeasurable. As long as it is not a vital sign.
Our lives in the ED would be so much easier, I reckon.
I spent 10 minutes explaining to a patient why the blood pressure on the monitor of 193/179 is physiologically impossible and she was looking at me like I was from planet McDufus.
