Whether to say anything

[maxthecat]

What do you say, if anything, when a health care worker performs a procedure and you're pretty sure it's not done correctly.

Example: Lately when I have had a manual blood pressure taken at my provider's office I have noticed that certain personnel seem uncertain of the results they obtain and their results vary quite a bit from my usual range. Of course, blood pressure does vary, but it's more the vibe I get that the person doing this did not really hear the markers and guessed at some numbers. I have been told before that my blood pressure is hard to hear. I don't want to insult anyone or even make anyone feel bad, but I do want an accurate reading. What should I say? Or should I just keep my mouth shut?

When you see the MD, just tell him or her that you're not sure the blood pressure is accurate, and ask if it's possible if he or she could take it.
