hobbesmaster posted:Uh, you want a healthcare professional handed a random electronic medical device to either look up the instructions or have the person who knows how the medical device works tell them how it works. Two weeks ago I taught 30 EMT students how to use a basic glucometer you get from any retailer in less than 10 minutes. I'm not referring to the complicated hospital ones, these are literally "push test strip into hole and test blood". I would be shocked if he had something more complicated since you can't exactly slap your phone-linked continuous glucose monitors to someone else (they have a calibration period). This isn't a "doctor's don't know anything" by any stretch, it's genuine curiosity since that is - again - introductory medical assessment poo poo I would expect a nurse and doctor to know. Edit: Cavauro posted:the article is probably talking up how mark andrews explained the exact method you use with the lancet device because those are all pretty different between inserting a new lancet and dialing up a stick. then he probably said "with this meter the test strip slots into the top instead of the bottom." hero. but it is cool though. not saying he isn't a hero. just laughing that he's a hero. i hope you understand You're completely right and I don't mean to downplay his role in this. Most folks would just sit and mind their business. It's cool he did something and should be praised for it.
