Default OT- Blood pressure monitors?

Get the doctor to use your monitor first, he or she should not be under
stress that could affect the reading and compare the reading with his
equipment. Do NOT use mercury based systems, they are very much out of date
and contain mercury for crying out loud. They are banned in the UK for this
reason.
