    Masimo is the leading brand of hospital pulse oximeters 1 because Masimo devices provide accurate measurements when other pulse oximeters fail by using revolutionary Signal Extraction Technology® (SET®) .

    Masimo is a sophisticated oximeter far more than the average person would need. SET is a new system. As a severe COPD sufferer I have used ChoiceMed oximeters both standard and ones that record and are downloadable to PC. I have been using oximeters for many years and I check them against hospital ones. They are made in China but I have never had a problem.

    There is a well known syndrome among many people who have temporarily elevated blood pressure when they go to see a doctor. Happens to me every time, i.e. every month when I go to renew my prescription. Sometimes the nurse will take it a second time after a ten or fifteen minute wait and it's back down to normal, sometimes it doesn't go back down. My doctor, who I have complete faith in, says it's nothing to worry about.

    White Coat Syndrome.

    In totally the wrong position for a lift like that. He should have been sideways on then he would have had the legs and counterbalance weights in his favour. Lifting over the rear is asking for trouble and shows inexperience as there is nothing to stop it toppling. Plus I will bet the alarms had been removed/faulty.  

    Most mobile crane lift charts will show over the rear have the highest capacities. The SLI, safe load indicator, was either being ignored or was not working.

    The first driver slowing down or stopping whether lizard dog or person is completely in his rights to do so....

     

    the accountable drivers are all others who follow behind...as a driver up to you to follow the 3-4 sec rule to allow breaking distance...

     

    fault with PU and maybe even motorcyclist if he made contact with first driver....not sure on details

    Yes it's a pity  R.I.P motor cycle rider.

    Just stupid putting those buses on a route with a long winding hill. I'd say the driver had no choice its all about revs on a hill for lorries also. If you slow down and you revs drop you could quite likely stall and not be able to restart (Drivers mate when I left school at 15)

    Slow down and change gear down to match the bus in front until a safe overtaking stretch becomes available. It is not rocket science.
