I'm not if it's this Dr, but someone resembling this Dr worked at WX and was so passionate about his job, always professional, efficient and polite, slightly too serious but understandable as they work so hard. Thank you to all medical persons for doing their jobs because for 10 years I've observed firsthand how hard they work and their compassion for patients.

Hi, apologies, I noticed an error- Under B for breathing the picture of the flow meter is an air (black nozzled) rather than oxygen (white nozzled) meter. Most places have strict rules about leaving the air flow meters in the wall due to the risk of them being used in error instead of the wall oxygen. This errornous picture of the air meter is a good example of how easy it is to make this mistake. Their removal processes are the same and it is still worth knowing how to change them and troubleshoot a suction circuit as it is not uncommon for these to be fitted incorrectly and only recognised during an emergency situation when they get used.
