Machines and I ....

I am sore distressed! Today I went to my doctor for a check on my blood pressure. I was directed to a machine with the following instructions:

Sit on the chair, make yourself comfortable, Relax...

Put your left arm in the sleeve if you are right handed.
Put your right arm in the sleeve if left handed.

I lost my way at this point.

However, I think that you press a button, a green light appears. Something else happens and a result is printed. You remove this paper and take it to the nurse or doctor.

I fled with my blood pressure elevated to an alarming level. I can imagine the day when I do not see a doctor or nurse. I step into a telephone booth pick up the receiver and all my symptoms (even state of mind) are recorded and sent somehwere.

I feel measured, counted and unwell...
Am I making mountains out of machine mole hills?

Comments please.....Walter
