I witnessed a disappointing experience in one of the mobile sites. Blood pressure cuff was not available in the correct size leading to inaccurate readings. It was redone multiple times until it reflected a safe BP to draw blood from. When he asked about the BP staff snapped, "Not my job follow up with your PCP". From a health services standpoint, that's a dangerous perspective to have. Staff clearly knew the readings were inaccurate because they eventually continued to draw blood. I recommend coming better prepared next time and maybe with a kinder attitude for patients.
