Indeed. I repsect the people working in health-care. It is just the 'system'-part of it which I've had a little problems dealing with. (And when I've discussed the organizational things with health-care professionals when they are off-duty, they also often complain about the organizational re-shuffles of past decades, saying that because of strange management-level decisions they find it increasingly difficult to do their job in the best possible way.)

And sometimes it has just been my general introvertedness, and occasional funny dissociation-kind of symptoms I get in places with many halls, corridors and doors. I get the feeling of "maybe I'm in the wrong place, where did I come from, am I supposed to wait here or go someplace else, can I go home and where's the toilet?". Also, to book a time one has to call them at 8.30 - 9.30 am or at 14.00 -14.30 pm. Bascially, each day has a 90 minutes period when you can call to reserve a time. That doesn't always go well with my introvert habit of feeling alien with making phone calls =)

What comes to my blood pressure; I've never smoked, and both my alcohol consumption and over-weight are down to mild-reasonable level. So I suspect the lack of physical excercise, combined with subconscious stress reactions.
