Dr. Legato:
There are patients in our office from whom we can’t get blood sometimes they’re so anxious because the vessels constrict at the slightest stimulus, and if we give those women a tiny dose of a beta-blocker, which blocks this response of stress to the circulation, we’re able to get blood quite easily. It’s quite dramatic.
