    Yeah, yeah, that’s it, Joy, the blood pressure cuff!

    I’m surprised he can pump it with one hand…I thought he’d have to call for reinforcements.

    I’ll bet he has to use a “cuff extender” like the airlines have seat belt extenders just to get around those (stick-like) arms. Joy should be glad that BP is not taken around her (slender) thighs or her (miniscule) a$$!

    I’m thinking that sign was hastily scribbled and tacked to the wall with one nail… ("Please do not steal medical eqment` sic "…. etc)…

    when he realised Joy had an appointment with him in 15 minutes…

    They’ll take anything free… might as well get rid of a big pile of used paper gowns.The Pennys’ visits are also an extra garbage pick-up day.

    Morning, all!

    Mornin’ Susan, mornin’ everyone. Yeah, it only LOOKS like she’s got fat arms. And if me grandmother had wheels she’d be a wagon (with apologies to Scotty).

    I thought he was related to the pennies. After all they use used gloves. Well at least he recycles. I wonder if Joy will take the used paper gowns and use them for a table cloth for one of her TV dinner parties.

    They should not steal anything out of a red hazardous medical waste bin.

    At least “Doc” practices good dental hygiene by cleaning his teeth. (Let’s hope those are his teeth.)

    How high does he have to pump the cuff to squish the blubber enough to measure the blood pressure? Until the arm turns blue? Wonder if she will get a cholesterol and tryclicerides check, First patient ever with oreo frosting flowing in her arteries.

    Wife is a nurse, and they have actually had patients in there whose arms were literally too large to get into even the bariatric BP cuffs. It’s an obesity epidemic.

    Does the pump even measure that high? And will it change Joy’s eating habits? Has the Doctor given up on those two? Does he even care anymore (talking to a brick wall here) Stay tuned for tomorrow for another chapter of “Denial in the ’Burbs”
