Right away his response was to ask me if I wanted a prescription for blood pressure meds and beta blockers. My BP and heart are doing OK so far and I don't have high BP. But then a person only gets 10 minutes with the doctor and he spends about 8 of the 10 fiddling on the computer trying to figure out who the patient is.
And, we actually consider our doctor to be one of the better ones we've met.
