RW> I've had them use both. My doctor in SD had one with two tubes filled
RW> with Mercury mounted on the wall. I never did figure out how they read
RW> that one.
 
I don't recall seeing one of those, but I'm sure I must not have noticed
they were there and if I did, I didn't think anything of it at the time.
 
RW> Using it also requires that they use a stethascope to listen to your
RW> heart and count the beats while he also counts your heart beat while
RW> counting the seconds with his watch.
 
He checks front and back with his stethoscope and probably uses it on my arm as well.
 
RW> The inflatable sleeve also has a stethascope that the machine uses
RW> to count your heart rate.
 
I can usually tell what mine is by listening with my fingertips on my wrist.
 
RW> I have no idea how they calibrate either one, but they surely must.
 
That's why I think my readings are whacko.
 
RW> That's what my dad said right after he got home from 3 months in
RW> intensive care because his doctor screwed up. The only thing that saved
RW> his life was my sister's vigilance and a helicopter ride to the
RW> University hospital in Madison, WS.
 
Sorry to hear.  I hope it isn't the same with my doctor.
 
RW> All three of us advised him to find a younger, more knowledgable doctor,
RW> which he did.
 
The second I get a gnawing feeling there is something wrong with mine, I'll
find another.
 
RW> I sometimes thank my lucky stars that I chose to persue a trade before I
RW> was too old to go back to school. That trade supported us for my entire
RW> life.
 
Yes, you did the right thing.  I wish I had.
 
RW> John Force pedals his car all the time, as do most of the drivers who're
RW> always in the top ten. He taught his daughter how to pedal too.
 
Now I get it.  (-:
 
RW> They're building them now, so they should get cheaper as time marches on.
 
Yeah, but will we get to see one?
