My sister also had a couple disturbingly misread BP testings done through her health provider, Kaiser, (which might explain the reason in itself).

When she went in for her first reading they were surprised the reading was so high, so they decided to have an EKG test done, which was done inaccurately as they were placed all in the wrong areas of her body, instead of where they should have been.
After the reading, the nurse tells her that her reading was very poor, charted it as such, and later the doctor prescribes her 2 diff meds (at the same time).

When she told me of the results (how many meds they told her to take), I found that to be rather questionable, so I took sister to my doctor, who did another EKG reading on her. The resulted reading was perfectly normal and she was advised not to take the meds until she returns to Kaiser for yet another reading.
Sister schedules another reading through Kaiser. I accompany her this time so that I can confront any possible questionable behavior &/or tests they might have.
As soon as we walk into the office and check in she is called in for a BP reading, (she didn't even have a chance to sit in the waiting room). I tell them that it might be a good idea to first wait a few minutes to at least allow her BP to return to normal before they take any readings as the results may not be accurate. They didn't listen and took reading, anyway. As I suspected, the results of the reading were not healthy, in fact were questionably high. And not only do they suggest that she continue the meds she was prescribed the first time, but they added another one due to the results of the reading she just received.
She tells them that she was advised not to take them, denies to take any of them, shows them the EKG reading from my doctor, and demands a second reading.
They tell her that, unfortunately, they were short-staffed and she would have to reschedule.
Odd thing about this is, sister originally went in to address her swelling (edema) issue attended, and the results were the above.

I realize this is somewhat off-topic, and I apologize for that. It's just that I so agree how the media tries to push meds as the answer with the health industry fueling it. It is upsetting how they can be the very cause of death of individuals who seem to have faith in those who's primary concern is of their own.
