Visualizing a patient's **blood pressure trends over time** is a crucial skill for healthcare professionals who want to quickly assess changes and patterns in vital signs. To accomplish this, you will use a DataFrame containing `date` and `blood_pressure` columns, and create a line plot that clearly communicates this information. This task will help you practice turning raw medical data into an informative visual report suitable for a patient's medical record.

You can use the `plt.savefig()` function to save your plot as an image file, which can then be included in electronic medical records or shared with other healthcare professionals for review.
