Today, I told my boyfriend the dentist said my blood pressure was high. He was more interested in the fact that the dentist took my blood pressure than my blood pressure being high. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I went to my new dentist to get my teeth cleaned. He kept getting distracted, causing him to repeatedly stab me in the gums. He then had the nerve to tell me that I need to brush more, due to how I was bleeding just from his "routine examination". FML
Today, my doctor told me if my blood pressure gets any higher, he could use me to reinflate the air in his tyres. FML
Today, I came home from the hospital diagnosed with high blood pressure. It's caused by stress. My wife had a very long talk with my son about it. All the kid has been doing for the past 2 hours is scream at his Playstation. I'd rather be at the hospital. FML
Today, I told my boyfriend I had diabetes. He won't talk to me anymore because he thinks I'll infect him with it. FML
Today, I went to the dentist. My dentist kept talking to me while his hands were in my mouth. I attempted to tell him that it was difficult and dangerous to respond. My talking made him slip and slice my mouth open with one of his instruments. FML
Today, I went to the dentist. I got a new dentist who started out a conversation about school. She asked where I went to school and if I liked my principal. After I told her I thought he was full of himself, she said she was married to him. FML
Today, I found out my boyfriend thinks I'm too high maintenance because I have a chronic illness which requires frequent hospitalization. FML
Today, I was at the dentist's. During my check-up, he recommended a dermatologist. FML
Today, I went to see my new dentist. He was really cute, so after the checkup I started flirting. He stopped me right after I asked him out, saying, "Being a dentist has its advantages, I can see the girl's mouth before I stick my tongue in it. And in your case, it's a big no." FML
Today, during a brutal two and half hour dental procedure, the dentist kept saying my gums were inflamed, and bleeding a lot. The clichéd "You need to floss more!" tirade. After she was done, my gums were purple, bruised, and had a visible cut on them. But sure, the bleeding was from me not flossing enough. FML

To be fair, its never happened to me or anyone I know, so I can relate to his shock.

Well I've never heard of a dentist who takes people's blood pressure either.

I'm a bit surprised myself. I haven't heard of a dentist (or oral surgeon) taking blood pressure. I don't remember having mine taken even when I had to be sedated for an emergency tooth extraction last year.

Honestly I stopped to question that, too.. I even re read the first sentence just to be sure. But good luck with the high blood pressure.

That's not really FML the dentist shouldn't really be talking your blood pressure

your boyfriend is very boyfriend-y here. as well as most that don't know this, but dentists & oral surgeons ARE KNOWN to do blood pressure checks on a patient if they will be doing extractions on teeth. few years back I had to have 3 teeth that got busted from seizures pulled because they were broken so bad, the assistant did check my pressure and stated that because it was high they might not be able to pull the teeth that day. in the end they were able to but still--it is NOT as uncommon as people seem to think it is.

To be fair, after I finished reading your first sentence I was also wondering why the dentist took your blood pressure.

Did the dentist have you remove your shirt? If so, I'm agreeing with your boyfriend on this one.
