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.

I have an intense phobia of dentists; if I were wearing a constant monitor, I bet you could tell when I was at the dentist just by watching the blood pressure and heart rate spikes. (You'd have to find some way of differentiating them from me being in a car accident, or being attacked by a werewolf.)

Just to be clear, 'fang doctor' doesn't actually refer to a medical werewolf. :D

Can confirm, I was a FAANG doctor (Ph.D.) for a while, not a werewolf.
