Of course you can take pulse from the wrist, also in your neck and other areas. But it is very unlikley. As I said it is likley to be just a Sphygmonometer. Doctors like them because they take less work however they are less acurate than if you take it with a Stethoscope.
However it is fairly hard, and if you ever see a Doctor taking blood pressure in real life with a Stethoscope. I can almost guarentee it will take him more than one attempt!
Either way both involve a inflatable cuff at the top half of your arm. I would not worry.
