High Blood Pressure and White Coat Fever

I HATE how it squeezes It unnerves and freezes Blood pounds through the arm Setting off my alarm Read her face like a book (The nurse has that look) "It's high to the max" "Just try to relax!" "You're close to a stroke" (Lord, I need a smoke)

Darn those blasted blood pressure machines. They have to take mine over and over because it's so low they can't believe it, Tim. Got a good laugh reading your entry. Many of the Soup's best humor writers provided a lot of laughs. There were many great entries and it was hard ranking them as each one gave me a laugh. Congratulations on your win! Love, Carolyn

Enjoyed the Ironical humor along with the "puts me there" description. Enjoyed it Tim. Looks like a winner to me.
