Many visits to the doctor start

with taking your blood pressure.

BAILEY: What are you doing back there?

It's a vital indicator of your health.

- Ahh!

Oh, baby girl.

I know all the tricks.

I've done this before.

But within the human body,

there are many pressurized systems,

and each has its own threshold
and consequence for pressure.

You're late.

Yeah, well, B-shift was late first.

- Mm-hmm.

How are my favorite ladies?

Oh, well, one of us

And the other one was jolted out of bed

with a hospital scheduling nightmare.

Minnesota's got a good program.

Maybe you can poach one from there.
