“Blood is a very special juice.”

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749 - 1832)

Pulse oximeter measuring oxygen saturation levels (SpO2).

[Susan Wakely]

All very clever. I hope that your readings are at an acceptable level.

[John Falconer]

@wakelys
Thanks. No problems. Around 96-98%!

[Carole Sandford]

Well you’ve managed to make an oximeter look positively jazzy & cool! Must say we never had any this colourful when I was at work!

[Joan Robillard]

Hope it was sufficient

[Mags]

Very cool shot!

[Renee Salamon]

Great shot! Best oxymeter ever - mine is very ordinary next to yours

[Larry Steager]

Wonderful capture

[Corinne C]

Such a cool capture!

[Christine Sztukowski]

Nice glow

[LManning (Laura)]

Rather spooky!

[Kathy]

Fascinating close up of the pulse ox. I'm not sure I've ever seen the red light before on one when it is in use.

[Junan Heath]

Wonderful shot!

[Christina]

Great shot - am pleased to hear all is ok

[Rick]

Cool capture.

[winghong_ho]

Interesting.

In my very limited experience as a patient, I’ve only ever seen these with a red light. Thanks for commenting.

[eDorre]

Love the glow

[Babs]

Looks as though you are glowing in the dark.

[Diana]

Fabulous close up and colour!

[Cordiander]

Cool pic! I hope things are looking up!

[Rob Z]

Wow - you've made that look amazing.

[Nigel Rogers]

Incredible shot, love the colour.

[John Falconer]

@edorreandresen @onewing @ludwigsdiana @cordulaamann @robz @nigelrogers

Thanks again.

[Wylie]

I'm guessing you are bored! Hospital waits are very tedious. Hope its going OK.

[John Falconer]

@pusspup
It certainly is boring. But I’m catching up on books and also deleting or captioning old photos!!

[summerfield]

great to know all's within the acceptable level. well done.

[Maxine Lathbury]

Fascinating photo

[Dave]

Great close up!

[Peter Dulis]

so true

[Beverley]

Ditto

[Judith Johnson]

Everything is so technology based. We have a lot to be thankful for

[KWind]

Cool shot!!

[haskar]

This excess of technology in medicine scares me a bit.

[Paula Fontanini]

Well that's one really cool photo and I'm happy to hear your levels passed the test!!

[Margaret Brown]

Nice capture, so true

[carol white]

Nicely captured

[*lynn]

nice capture of the pretty red glow

[Pyrrhula]

Have donated it twice a year for about 40 years. Great close up shot

[Islandgirl]

Very cool!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Excellent oxygen reading! That was my goal after my "covid-coma"- get that oxy level up so I could go home.

[Yao RL]

Time to learn some medical terms.

[Shutterbug]

Hope you are healing well. Love the lighting on this.

[Boxplayer]

Ooh interesting effects from such a scientific thing

Thanks. They only check my vitals about five times a day now. The first time between 4:30 and 5:00

[John Falconer]

@pyrrhula
They won’t take my tainted blood!!! Too many pills.

[John Falconer]

@olivetreeann
I’m not sure how you increase it? Is just wait and see?

[Olwynne]

Very clever capture

[John Falconer]

@ollyfran
Thanks.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@johnfalconer I was one of the severest cases of covid and pneumonia seen at the hospital where I recovered- they didn't expect me to make it when I was admitted but many prayers and the grace of God brought me through. I was on the ventilator in a coma for nine days and I think in the days afterward all they did was monitor me. I went home four days after coming off the vent- with an oxygen level of 95! The doctors never expected that as I was about a 0 when I checked in. So, I guess it is "wait and see" with bringing that up.

[John Falconer]

@olivetreeann
Well done for getting through it.

[CC Folk]

A zero!?! Yikes! I like the lighting and color. Good job for going up to 95!

[John Falconer]

@gardenfolk
Thanks. I appreciate your commenting.
