Yeah I left my lifepack at home that day. lol I tell her I need practice taking blood pressures for my EMT training and she thinks she is helping me out, while I get to make sure her blood pressure doesn't skyrocket over 200 again. It's a win-win situation.
Not much else to be done. Anything more, and it seems pushy and people get more on the defense.
One trick I learned was to say something like " Just make sure you have someone with you later on tonight to call 911 when your heart stops."
It's evil, sorta mean, but sometimes it shocks them into getting scared enough to take it seriously.
