Well, the checkup was fine, but there was a new thing added to the procedure: They took my blood pressure at the beginning. I never heard of them doing this, but I just went along with it.

Interestingly, my numbers were the following:
120/66
59 heart rate

I guess it was good news to hear. I don't know if they're doing this everywhere, but I'm curious.

That is quite strange. I have no idea why they would check that. While we're on the subject, should I question my regular prostate check-up everytime I go to the psychologist? I can't put two and two together on that one, either.

Maybe it's due to the epidemic of people being killed by their own fat.

Well, I actually found out that studies show there are some ties between high blood pressure and gum disease. I'm certain that this is one of the reasons. Now I feel like it was less pointless for them to do.

because really high blood pressure makes your eyeballs explode, of course.
