Question: Answer my stupid medical question.?
What's that thing that they clip onto your finger when your hospitalized? It's hooked up to a machine or something. They just clip it onto your index finger, it's kinds foamy on the inside. What's that for, and what is it called? Kinda stupid, I know. Don't kill me.
Answers:
It's a PulseOximeter, it shows them your pulse and your O2 saturation (the level of Oxygen in your blood) NOTE: not all of them show your pulse, some are only for O2 sat.
