...I've never actually had a doctor take my blood pressure...
The one time I had a physician take my blood pressure, he was like a 150WPM typist compared to the hunt-and-peck crowd. He was pumping, releasing, pumping, releasing like a madman, with his eyes fixed on the second hand of a large wall clock. He must have gotten 6 or 7 readings in a minute. After all that, he just said, "hmmm, yeah, let's get you on a diuretic."
