I never tire of “DISSING” the NHS

…It continues… for some of the back story read here >> National Hinderance Service

Today I took receipt of a Pulse Oximeter, which is a device for measuring the pulse and oxygen levels (approximate of course) in the bloodstream, this is done using a clever infra-red beam focused through the fingertip and measured, making use of the Spectrum Absorption characteristics of reductive homoglobin  and Oxyhemoglobin using the Lambert Beer Law.

What really sucks about this, is I had to fork out for one of these off Ebay, so my mother with her condition not going away anytime soon, can at least have an idea of her oxygen levels whilst she remains at home and “COMPLETLEY” out of the mind of NHS - the irony here is they are happy to continue supplying tanks of oxygen at whatever expense that is, but will not under any circumstance loan her one of these Oximeters.  Which are currently available from any decent mountaineering store.

So, is this the Governments idea of reform?  “You want crucial medical support device, you go out and buy it.”

….This of course is falling on deaf ears, so just to be sure, let’s send this information to the local MP and Radio Stations huh?

    Yeah, definitely get on to your MP. Our MP (Celebrity Lembit Opik - or Lemsip as some like to call him) is very good with stuff like that. Our problem is being the wrong side of the border. We have to use English services and that causes even more problems.

    ..well, mum tested her toy last night and came up at a whopping 69% Oxygen level - normal being around 95% - certainly opens ones eyes!!

    It certainly does. So what happens now? It surely can’t be good to have that 26% lower oxygen levels than most other people! Keep on at the Doctors/Hospital, otherwise they just won’t do anything. Certainly point it out to your MP and if needs be then the media. It’s amazing how hospitals suddenly take notice when the newspapers and such are telling what’s going on (or what’s not going on that should be!).
