Please stop posting irresponsible information on these sites.... there are gullible people out there who will believe it. Makes me wonder if you own stock in some respiratory equipment company, lol.

#1--THIS IS NOT IRRESPONSIBLE INFORMATION! It came from Dr Seigel on Fox news. He stated BECAUSE THERE WAS A SHORTAGE OF TESTING KITS AVAILABLE, this was one way to HELP your Doc triage your concerns! CHECK OUT FOX NEWS, YOU CAN SEE IT YOURSELF! TRIAGE!!! NOONE said not to get incontact with a HCP and trying to do this based ONLY on your O2 levels. When you call your HCP, you give them what is going on with you...fever, aches, pains, whatever...why NOT give them something that really helps them understand you MIGHT NEED TO BE SEEN IMMEDIATELY!
#2--If you don't like the fact a retired nurse is trying to pass along something that could HELP those that WANT TO ENSURE THEY ARE OK BUT NOT EXPOSE THEMSELVES TO GOING OUT TO A DR OFFICE OR ER UNNECESSARILY, too darn bad! We ALL need to watch our own health issues, and also do what we can to reserve/maintain those health care professionals by giving them all the info we can to help them determine if we NEED to be screened by testing based on the information we are giving them VS just deciding WE WANT A TEST meaning you might be wasting one unnecessarily.
#3--if YOU want to take the risk of not knowing if your cough, fever or issues are not allergy/cold/flu related without being able to give your HCP the additional information of what your O2 level is WITHOUT HAVING to going in, please save your few dollars and head your happy attitude right on into your Dr office or the ER and expose yourself to whatever and PAY the cost of the visit and allow those of us that will REFUSE to lay awake worrying unnecessarily because we might have SOME symptoms, but bottom line is YOU WILL PRIORITIZE yourself for care once you can tell them you have a falling O2 sat level.
I don't own stock in anything medically related.
