Dr. Consult

Today I saw a patient that had really high blood pressure. I did my first phone consult to her doctor. When the doctor returned my call he advised that the patient not be seen untill her blood pressure lowered and to reschedule her after she was seen by her doctor for the cyatic nerve in her back. The patient was in a lot of pain and that may be reflected in the high blood pressure. I certainly am getting a lot of experience with patients with elevated blood pressures. Every patient for the last month has had something to do with elevated levels.
