Under pressure

WHEN my blood pressure was taken by the nurse at my GP surgery, the readings were extremely high.

In great alarm, she rushed off to tell the doctor. But he was too busy to see me.

He phoned me later, but only to tell me it was important I sat with my feet as high as possible. There was no other follow-up.

When doctors fail us to whom can we look for help?
