"GP response to me asking for my blood pressure to be taken."

Appointment at the surgery where I have been a patient for over 60 years.

Called on time by GP, obviously new to Practice I did not recognise this doctor.

Followed her from waiting room into surgery.

She did not introduce herself.

Brisk, business like manner.

After she dealt with my issue, I asked her to check my blood pressure.  The practice nurse who normally does this was on holiday. 

She replied, No, saying that I had already had 13 minutes and I should only have 10.

I was taken aback, she got to her feet and made for the door, indicating the appointment was over.

I know her name from the prescription she gave me.

I feel she should have taken the extra, 2 minutes or so to check my blood pressure.

She offered no alternative to how I could have it checked.
