Hypertension

Posted on Twitter: Sorry for the delay in replies: BP emergency & wrestling with BCBSMA’s Rx system. Making progress tho, and BP under control thx to CVS.

My blood pressure had peaked at 158/103. Yes, you read that correctly. I had run out of medication at just about the time my HMO asked me to switch over to their online mail-order system.

Now, I have no problem with that. I love the Internet, and I love mail-order. And it certainly makes sense to me: why buy retail, when online does just as well (which it does in this case, or even better) for less money?
