The tool a nurse or doctor wraps around your arm to measure blood pressure is called a SPHYGMOMANOMETER ?

Oddly enough, I did but only because I asked one day while I was at the doctor's office. While I did learn the name of the tool, I was, however, "treated" to an "engaging" discourse of the evolution of the sphygomanometer. It really wasn't worth knowing it's name at the end of the day.

I thought it was a blood pressure cuff. That thing you named sounds like something to measure the amount of spit you have.

Yes I did...I always read that word on the device when I go there but pronouncing it is a different story.

No I didn't know that. All I know is when they use that on me it gets so tight my arm and hand numb from the pressure.

Did you know this random fact?
Black is the absence of color while white is the combination of all colors.
