Kansas, eh? LOL! Me too. Yes, it is dang hot!!!
In the US, in most offices during any medical visit (excluding psychiatry), blood pressure is taken by the nurse prior to the doc coming in (while he’s with another patient), so it’s not a time waster. Nurse takes it every single time for every visit, even for a splinter in the toe. My dentist has now even taken to doing this, even for my regular cleanings. Plus, a visit to a psychiatrist is usually an hour, not 20 minutes, so if they really wanted to, a psychiatrist could at least get a good vitals check.
If you’re near Lawrence, I know a guy. He’s a family doc, but actually spends time both giving me an exam and listening to me for as long as I need, too 
He actually listens much better than the mental health specialists that I’ve seen.
