So this has been bugging me since reading about someone dying awhile back of asthma. At my visit to MEPS, my first BP reading was a 141 / xx. Instead of charting it, the nurse wrote it on a sticky and waited a half hour, at which time it was 139 / xx. (apparently 140 is the cutoff) Her superior noticed this and scolded her for violating procedure, but didn't make her change it and I was happily not DQed.
My questin is does this type of thing happen often? I am just bothered that people could be put at risk because proper procedures are not being followed.
