Hey everyone
So I'm in my little side room, listening to the radio talk about Ofsted and the nurse comes in to take my blood pressure, she looks at it and says I think we need to turn the radio off and I'll come back in 5 minutes... Apparently just listening to someone talk about it sends my BP high 😂 god knows what it was like when they were in my school
Nurse comes back about 20 minutes later and it's still a little high but not as much as it was

Stay calm don't even think about work I can well believe the mention of Ofsted Sent your blood pressure up
It's just because it's on the news today.
I haven't thought too much about work. Honestly
Good Turn the news off its too depressing
i find most of the news too depressing nowadays. Don’t think listening to it does you any good.
I'm trying to calm down, it's only because it's been on the news today.
If I don't laugh I'll cry 🤣
Aw no that's not good you can't even listen to the radio with out getting stressed 😂😅📻
What a pain that you have a cold on top of everything else going on, there are so many nasty bugs about.
Don’t even think about O****d, it should be forbidden on here like C%^*d!
Ofsted came into my school whilst I was on my phased return. It was horrendous for me. Everything was so intense and it felt like they gave little consideration to my circumstances. You forget how much things effect you when you are in bypass recovery.
Most teacher will talk about Ofsted fatigue and how it jolts them sideways for a few days. Well for a bypass patient that jolt meant I needed time off to rest and calm down. Haha
We had them a few weeks ago. I should have been doing mostly half days that's week but I ended up doing full days. I hated it. Then I had a break up which just broke me, I was off sick for a week after both of those.
It's horrendous.
You have to learn to look after yourself and the job comes second. I very much am trying to work on making sure my work life balance etc is better post op.
Coming from a regulated industry myself, I feel the same pain when certain government agencies are mentioned... keep on laughing!!
😃😃. At my last review with the cardiologist the nurse told him off and to stop asking me questions while she was trying to do my BP.
I had the big O due a few years ago. I was also first suffering with BP high. Doc gave me a 24 hr BP machine strapped to my arm. It spiked twice during the day... with the doc saying, "what happened at 12pm and 12.30pm... your BP was so high you could have had a stroke!?"I replied...
"They were the two times my Head burst into the staffroom and 'we' thought... the phone call of doom had arrived!"
LOL.
I became a union activist soon after... and now National and Local NASUWT rep and caseworker!
😂 I heard that piece on the radio. I can understand the impact on your BP.And, chill! 😊
I was attached to the machine that goes ping watching the wriggly lines,nice and regular seventy three times a minute.And in comes nurse I could be a Victoria's secret model (Cara with the smile) who bends down to get something from the bottom of the unit, showing me her shapely bottom, and it's ninety six.
Her comment was that my hart beat seems fairly strong.
Hang in there girl, you will be fine.
OMG never mind white coat syndrome OFSTED syndrome is very real! And breathe...❤️
I think my BP is still slightly high because of white coat syndrome, oh well I'll do as told. I've not even had the news on today so I couldn't get stressed
Know the feeling Valentina. But you did make my husband and I laugh out loud. I will be taking my BP later. Just thinking about it makes us cross. Take care.
I aim to make people smile 😁
I makes me cross just hearing them mentioned and the issue that caused it to be on the news is awful but I get how stressed she must have been and she was a headteacher, I'm not and it stresses me out
