To my horror I had a reading of 220! I
reported this to my quack (doctor), who told me the classic "Nothing to
worry about! I know people with far worse readings". He soon stopped being
my doctor. I did not want to compare myself to his worst patients.

I don't know any doctor near me that would be satisfied with such a
number. Is that US only where doctors are satisfied with that or what?
