Very rude and confrontational. Treated me like I was a malingerer without even knowing me. Asked why I waited till 3am to come into the emergency room. I told him because I couldn't take the pain and lack of sleep any longer. They're open 24 hours. What difference did it make? When I mentioned it to the RN after his consultation She said " He hadn't had enough sleep". perhaps he's in the wrong line of work. My initial BP was around 130/90. Immediately after my visit with him. The automatic BP machine showed a BP of 190/120 obviously something upset me. This was also after the RN gave me something for my BP which is always somewhat elevated during office visits. I take my BP several times a day, and it averages 116/70 pulse 70. I am a former EMT intermediate. So I have an accurate sphygmometer. and know how to use it. I am a 64 year old male.
