My Swedish is rusty but could it be that seeing a high BP reading of the patient in the next bed got the patient upset?
Note from asker:
| A man is entering the hospital because of dizziness. In the patient records it says, "Även grannans blocktrycksmanschett visar 200/100 i tryck samt pat har känt bultande huvudvärk." |
