2. Is the doctor's measurement with the auscultation method more accurate?

The mercury column sphygmomanometer used by hospital doctors is just a tool for pressure measurement. The idea that the mercury column sphygmomanometer is an accurate sphygmomanometer is one-sided, because the mercury column sphygmomanometer is only a pressure gauge, and the focus is on the auscultation of the doctor through a stethoscope. Internationally developed countries generally prohibit the use of mercury column sphygmomanometers, and the use of more accurate electronic pressure gauges

Moreover, the accuracy of the blood pressure measured by the doctor at the clinic is also affected by a series of factors such as the doctor's emotions, hearing, environmental noise, and the tension of the subject.
