Pls Check your blood pressure, dont waste a trip.

Hi,

This goes out to everyone but particularly my Poland crew. I was scheduled for an operation today but Dr Baranski declined to proceed cause my bp was too high, says he cant risk it. I cant come back till wednesday as that was when I booked my flight, so I´ve effectively wasted a trip.


One of the doctors who serves as an interpreter did tell me to sort out my bp and keep in touch.I have to say the Dr gained my respect and I´ll definitely pick him again when I get my bp down. A lot of doctors would have opted to risk it for the their pay cheque damning any adverse consequences.

The lesson here is pls check your bp, had no idea mine was that high.

You can pop into a lloyds chemist for a free blood pressure check
or just ask to see the nurse at the GP surgery and she will check it.
Remember if flying to Poland try to get there the night before and stay relaxed.
Its the case that alot of people do get scared and blood pressure rises.
I actually had a months record of my Blood Pressure as my wife is a Gp surgery Nurse and i also had a couple of ECG's
all the data was printed off for dr baranski to read through
