BLOOD PRESSURE MACHINE March 17, 2000 I was in the drug store waiting for my prescription to filled, when I saw a free blood pressure machine in the corner. I thought what the heck, as long as I have to wait, I'll see what my blood pressure is. You step on the scale to be weighed and stick your arm in this automated cuff thing and to my surprise, a really LOUD voice says "YOU WEIGH ----LBS." The cuff around my arm had been inflating and I couldn't get it out, the voice says "YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE IS---OVER----, PLEASE CONTACT YOUR DOCTOR" Did you ever feel so embarrassed you wanted to sink into the ground? Well, I would have except the cuff is still inflated around my arm and won't let go. Everyone is staring at me and I am stuck on this machine. I kept waiting for the air to go out of the cuff, but it stayed inflated. I finally had to ask someone to go tell the pharmacy man to come and get me loose. He had to un-plug the machine to do it. By then my pills were ready and I promptly left with a red face. Needless to say, I changed my prescription to another pharmacy and will never go back there again. (I'm afraid some one might recognize me)
