Regarding white coat hypertension, the shot isn’t always necessary. Some people’s blood pressure just goes up from the stress of the clinical setting.

My friend went to see the doctor. A very attractive nurse took his blood pressure, which turned out to be off the charts. She goes out, comes back 5 minutes later and repeats, same results. Goes out and 10 minutes later and old bearded doctor comes in and repeats the tests.

Doctor ends up telling him that he was hoping it was just the attractive nurse, but no. He'd be starting medication today.
