[Weekly thread] Patients say the darndest things

This week, 2 patients asked for me to measure their blood sugar.

The first one was happy because I was apparently her lucky charm, not the diet that she kept following. Like, she constantly thanked me like I was the one who influenced it.

The second one comes in and tells me that she got scared by a man on the street and she's feeling ill and it must be hyperglycemia because she got scared. She already has her blood pressure measured and she knew it was a 150/70, but yeah, it was the glycemia's fault for sure!
