I liked the “Xanax as needed” part–in the real world she’d have been zonked on too much Xanax to give a hoot what her blood pressure was.

Well, if the pressure in your tires is too high, you just let some out. I never understood why they stopped doing this with people. It would certainly reduce the ER visits for high BP.

Me: I walk into the room and what do I see?

Examiner: You see a well developed, somewhat obese female looking slightly anxious but in no apparent distress. She is staring intently at the monitor.

Me: I put on my robe and wizard hat.

I have been enjoying this series immensely. This episode is great. I almost feel physically present in the exam room, and the humour is explicit yet subtle (to me, at least…)

Exactly. Hey, is this from oral boards? Can’t they shoot you for this? Oh, I see, it’s from oral board REVIEW! Got it.

I like these real-life cases.

99.999999999999999999% of patients who sign in with their personal chief complaint as “high blood pressure” are this case.

I did recently have someone sign in as “high BP” who had a BP of 280/160 at the state fair Red Cross booth (and a similar one in the ER) who ended up being in DTs. That was the other .00000000000000000001%. Just because you’re a drunk and you want to look presentable because the in-laws are in town for the fair doesn’t mean you can just stop drinking on your own!!!
