Mine goes up second I walk into a doctor's office. The last time I went to get mine the nurse practitioner was a real piece of work that started by wanting me to completely undress and put on a hospital gown. I flat out refused and told her no one else has ever had a problem feeling under my shirt or asking me to drop my.pants for the hernia check.
She then made me go back to see the doctor I had just left an hour before to get a note saying the injury to the end of my left index finger wasn't going to effect my ability to drive. What pure BS.
I told her my BP was going to be a bit high due to having White Coat Syndrome, and that it would be good if I hadn't been left sitting around so long. In fact it was steady going up the longer I was there.
When I left to get her the note, the assistant said she'd take my BP the minute I got back. Within a minute a handful of mineutes of my return she did, and it was fine. So, I was left to sit for another 20 minutes before the NP came and took it for herself. By this time it had already headed back up....So she decides to let me set longer to see if it would go back down. By this time I was so tired, disgusted, and I guess plain out mad at the way she was doing me that it did ext what I told her it was going to do, and continued to climb.
She gave me a 3 month card and told me to see a doctor...about something I already know about....and come back to see hem again.
99.9999999% of my driving is instate, my truck is only a 26,000 GVW even though it's tagged for 33,000 and I rarely ever pull a trailer, so I'd rather take my chances rather than go back to see them, and have a stroke when they send my.otherwise normal BP through the roof. Like I have said for years, I avoid doctors to stay healthy...
By the way, the fee at the place I had been using had gone from $70 to $130 after the Fed's made it harder for the providers to get on their approved list.
That alone tells me that it's far more about the money than it is safety. Especially when a 90 year old man with sleep apnea, high BP, a hernia, on dozen different medications, and with any number of other issues, can drive one of those huge motor homes, coast to coast, towing a trailer or vehicle, with no special license.....because it's an RV, not a commercial vehicle.
