Basic Medical Technology by digitalrn

Basic Medical Technology

Vital to your health and well being are the basics. Know the signs of elevated blood pressure, and keep and eye on it. It could save your life. The advances in technology have made it easy for anyone to keep tabs on their own health. All you do is push a button, and in a few seconds you have gained knowledge, knowledge that could save your life. Working in the healthcare field, gadgets like this save time, although I still enjoy taking a blood pressure the old fashion way. Your health is important. You are important. Take the time to care.
Fantastic theme shot Rick!! Love it :)

That's a good one for tech. Good photo too!
September 12th, 2010  
Not too bad :)

The most important point you make is that you must be your own advocate for your health. Don't expect your doctor to do it for you.

Nice one!

Nice picture, I take my blood pressure at least twice a month.
September 12th, 2010  
i can relate to this actually...
September 12th, 2010  
They sure do offer a variety of health related gadgets for the consumer today. I was amazed at all the choices I had when I went to Walmart to buy a thermometer recently!
September 12th, 2010  
Fancy blood pressure machine!!
September 12th, 2010  
I needed one of those when I was pregnant! Thanks for the photo. It's a good one.
September 12th, 2010  
Amen! We both take our blood pressure at least weekly - of course we both have high blood pressure - it's a requirement! Thanks for the reminder!
September 12th, 2010  
all looks scary to me!!
September 12th, 2010  
This is a fancy version - I've only every seen and had used the upper arm hand pump version. It must be interesting to see changes in technology in your line of work - Great theme shot.
September 12th, 2010

lifesaving technology. Perfect theme shot. (I love when you bring your medical expertise to the photos!!)
September 12th, 2010  
Fantastic shot, and just perfect for the theme :)
September 12th, 2010  
Cool shot of a lifesaving device.
September 12th, 2010  
As we baby boomers get older the more we depend on medical technology like this. What a great theme shot!.
September 12th, 2010  
my blood preasure is always low so low i have collapsed several times and had to go hospital..stuck on ivs....but they dont give me nothing for it so no point checking it
September 12th, 2010  
I'm jealous of your numbers. Mine is borderline high, controlled for now by a low sodium diet.
September 12th, 2010  
Nice shot and message. Mine was starting to creep up a little, but I made some diet and exercise changes and it is back down again. great one for the theme.
September 12th, 2010  
Nice picture....and thanks for your message. I know how important this is....
September 12th, 2010  
Like that picture. good message.
Thanks for comments on baptism. If you like the windows there are professional photographs of them http://www.pauldawson.co.uk/stnicholas/ taken by a son of the parish.
September 12th, 2010  
great shot and words rick...your gagets remind me of when i was in the medical field....happy to say i am done for now.....
September 12th, 2010  
Technology is amazing and I think gadgets like this can give people a sense of being involved in their own care if they are able to use them. Monitoring a problem is an important step. Nicely composed photo and well stated.
September 12th, 2010  
Thanks for the birthday wishes!
September 12th, 2010  
brilliant theme shot Rick like it
September 12th, 2010  
Excellent theme shot!! I almost posted a picture of my b/s test meter but could not get it to look interesting!!
September 12th, 2010  
We live in a time when technology is in it's infancy. Can you imagine what it will be like in 10 years, 20 years, 50 years? These pictures will be forever a part of our history. Good shot!
September 13th, 2010  
that a realy great shot. you have so much medical wisdom haha
September 13th, 2010  
You always have such good advice on many levels! Is this a way to take blood pressure at home? Seems so much "friendlier" & easier than the cuff. Nicely photographed! Just read your comment that ended, "Now we are anticipating what you have in store for tomorrow's photo"...OMG, the pressure! We don't have spontaneous marching bands everyday!
September 13th, 2010  
Fabulous shot and a very good reminder to all.
September 13th, 2010  
This is very cool!
I want one of my own!

When our daughter was on dialysis, we had to take her blood pressure every morning, and I really enjoyed doing it the old fashioned way, too.
On her, I mean. I'd still like the modern tech for me! ;-)

Funny, I had forgotten all about that.
September 14th, 2010  
Rick thank you so much for all the new info. But I have to tell you, I am very glad you still do it the old fashioned way. I used a wrist meter and it said I was normal and my botton number was actually very high. But I think it is because I am so very hard to hear. Love the pic.
September 15th, 2010  
This shot made me think how I shouldn't be sitting here looking at photos, but instead I should be spinning in my garage! Thanks for the motivation Rick!
September 17th, 2010  
This is a very important message and thanks for putting it forward ... but i must say at first glance I thought I was seeing a[robot] face made up of technology. Thanks for passing by my images and for all your comments.
