At my wife's clinic if you are possibly sick with Covid they make you enter through a different back door and wait in an isolation room until the nurse meets you with full PPE gear.
As the scripture saith:
Anyone with such a defiling disease must wear torn clothes, let their hair be unkempt, cover the lower part of their face and cry out, ‘Unclean! Unclean!’ As long as they have the disease they remain unclean. They must live alone; they must live outside the camp.
Lev. 13:45-46 NIV
Well, I was going in for BO meds. I sat for 40 minutes waiting while my daughter had traveled down to see me waiting at the house. I have white coat syndrome anyway. I was getting more and more annoyed. I finally got in and I was pretty frustrated. My BP was bouncing off the roof.
Now I have to do blood work. Doctor wants to make sure I am okay since I do take care of others. She was understanding BUT LATE! I DIDN'T WANT TO SEE HER! I WANTED TO SEE MY DAUGHTER!

Try hard not to offend. Try harder not to be offended.
I think I am funnier than I really am.

The patient was impatient
I hope you told the doctor that. As for the bp, I would tell her to wait and redo the bp cuff on another day before getting too prescription happy. The patient has a say too.
Then I would spend the week before the new measure drinking plenty of water and avoiding sodium in any form to get a better idea of a true reading.
