I haven't been to a dentist lately but it's apparently pretty usual at the ear doctor's office (and probably *almost every* doctor's office in the new modern world these days) (and urgent care).
Methinks 'tis the new normal.
"Check your vitals" is apparently the new way of the world.
I don't like it either and my blood pressure reads high in those situations also but what can you do, it's what they do, we can't really stop them, you know?
And yes. I know it's annoying and potentially "kinda freaky".
I feel the same exact way but what can you do?
It's what it is.
Oh, well.
Sigh. 🙄
They seem to think that they need to, or something.
