Medical nsv!!!

I gave blood today. Part of the screening process is a set of vitals (temp, pulse, blood pressure). Now, I've always had high blood pressure, exacerbated by the sight of doctor-esque people, so I warned the guy my blood pressure runs high. He told me not to worry about it, but he had a concerned look on his face after he took it, and said he was going to try it again. After a second uncomfortable arm squeeze he said, "I don't know what you're talking about, I got 110/80 both times, and that's great!"
What? Me? Normal blood pressure? In a medical setting, no less! Ok the bottom number is a little high, but it's not my "normal" reading of 150/95!!
I guess this exercise stuff works after all!!
