My doctor likes people to check their pressures at home. He encourages patients to bring their machines to his office so the patient's machine can be calibrated against the doctor's. If home readings fall out of acceptable range, the doctor wants to know, so some action can be taken. I'm fortunate my doctor encourages patient participation. Cheers, PW. P.S. The Commander has learned to fudge his readings to escape those chores he finds unpleasant. I'm working on learning to do the same.

Ish, your story reminded me of what a friend did once. Went to the Doc...same ole' story...Lots of waiting, outer office, then inner office, and finally saw the doc. 3 hours later was out of his office. Next time she came, she brought her iron, ironing board, and basket of clothes. Proceeded to iron. Folks at front desk asked what was going on. She said her time was valuable, and she couldn't waste it. She was called in soon, saw the Doc and was out within an hour. Another person I met had the same thing happen, and sent the Doc a bill for the overtime she was there. Figured her time was just as valuable as his/theirs.
