  • medical greeeeeeeen in the background

  • Lol.. Have you critical people even check blood pressure instead of reading about it. Yes you do not use your thumb when checking a PULSE. As far as checking a patient's blood pressure your thumb does not conflict with the reading (knowing from experience) u do not hear the pulse in ur thumb at all when holding the stethoscope to the patient's arm.
