Calling all ATOT doctors/physicians

[aplefka]

Went to see the doc tonight again, bad news all over again. When I first got there, she did some thing with my finger (got my pulse) but she also got some 'O2 oxidation' or something. Mine was 98%.

What exactly is this/what does it have to do with anything?

SARS

Oxidation...that means you have rust in your arteries. Better inject some CLR to clean out the pipes..

SaO2. It measures the percent of oxygen bound to hemoglobin. 95%-100% is the normal range.

Does not.

You're fine, she measured the O2 saturation in your blood. 98% is healthy.

I figured I was when they didn't make a big deal about it. My pulse was fvckin 118 though and I was just standing there. Whatever this is, I hope it goes away soon. 4 weeks is just too fvcking long.
