Why do physicians check vital signs in patients over their clothes?. I have read in excellent?

The only vital I have had checked over my clothes was my heartrate. Blood pressure must always be done on skin, otherwise it could be way off. If your doctor is doing that, I would switch quickly as he is showing no concern, but only trying too increase his traffic and patient per day ratio.

I worked as a medical assistant for many years. I would take a manual blood pressure over clothes only when the top the patient was wearing was thin enough. This does not make a difference in the blood pressure reading obtained.

However, if they were wearing a thick sweater, than that could affect the blood pressure reading.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
