Blood Pressure
Sir, —“Pressure” asks if my letter refers to low as well as high blood pressure. I can only remind him that an English doctor, eminent enough to speak on the subject over the 8.8. C., calls testing blood pressure “nonsense,” his whole talk implying, “Don’t think about it. Forget it,” and a New Zealand doctor of wide experience says it* is a pity we ever discovered how to test blood pressure. Then let him consider well these statements by two medical experts, and make his own deductions. —Yours, etc., D. M. MIRAMS.
Timaru, November 18, 1960. [This correspondence may now cease.—Ed., “The Press.”]
