I finally busted out the stethoscope and sphygmomanometer today. This week we are covering vital signs and asepsis.
My blood pressure was 230/150, just about right considering my diet and lifestyle.
My girlfriend, Julie, was over and she let me practice taking her b.p. I thought I did everything correctly, but I could not find her brachial pulse.

Julie: They always have trouble finding a pulse. And taking blood.
Me: Hmm.
Julie: Maybe it's because I'm a robot.

I dare you to pronounce "sphygmomanometer" the next time I see you, then say it ten times fast.
