Blood pressure cuff in hospitals

[anonymous]

Is it just me, or does anyone else not like when they take your blood pressure. Only because they use the same cuff from room to room and never clean it. If the person in the next room has pnuemonia and they cough on the cuff, guess what...those germs are going on your arm. I always have them clean it, infront of me. It's the only way to protect yourself and you should be aware that this cuff passes germs. 22/wCF
