Confusion with dots and commas

Some probably will for a while

Our doctor still uses 13/6. Would 149 not be rounded up and give 15 as the result?

I suspect a doctor might use 13/6 as it's easier for the patient to understand (he will probably have noted the full result) ! Team first aid training today (pompiers, ambulanciers etc) requires that the full details are given - if a doctor wants to round up, that's up to him.

I agree with that change 10 can be significant on a BP. Say you medicate at 150,149 you are going to want a close eye on ,141 you might not be as concerned.The Old French system would show both as 14

I answered before the last bit was add ,they may round up I don’t know the protocol,whatever there’s still the potential for 10mmHg difference,which isn’t insignificant when discussing blood pressure

TBH, I think the numbers are less important to most patients than the doctor's comments.

That's rather high
We need to keep an eye on that
Perfect
etc.

Blood pressure numbers mean nought to me - I just say after the dr's told me, c'est bon ou pas?
As for the blood results I just look to see if any are in bold or have a star beside them, but the dr normally phones me to arrange an appointment if something is awry.
