Thank God, he made it. Some people were not that lucky…
Days ago, a man went to get his Blood Pressure checked.. Upon seeing the numbers, the attendant informed him that it was alarming, and that he would require to be admitted for treatment.
Unfortunately, they man declined… And as he made to leave, just as he was about to cross a drainage (gutter), he slumed… And that was it… He is gone!
The nurse was blamed for allowing him to leave, but she said she can not administer treatment against the man’s consent…
