Katherine Staats, MD

2 December 2020.

Failure of on-line pharmacy to deliver medication to control my hypertension, caused gradual increase in both Systolic and Diastolic pressures. When personal sphygmomanometer readings reached 207/110 — pulse: 74 BPM; I notified my cardiologist, who advised me to go immediately to the Stanford ER.

Attending physician: Katherine Laurinda Staats, MD (Very impressive Medical Doctor!)

At Stanford ER, the medical staff:
Conducted two lab tests:
• CBC with Differential
• Metabolic Panel Comprehensive, Troponin I
Conducted one Imaging Test:
• ECG, 12-Lead
Administered three medications:
• amLODIPine
• carvedilol (Coreg)
• lisinopril

When BP was reduced to a stable 135/62 and all tests were within proper parameters, Dr Staats released me to return home. I stopped at Walgreens Drug Pharmacy to pick up two blood pressure medications you ordered fo me earlier in the day.

This morning my BP was 135/62, HR was 62.

Warm regards
