home oxygen etc

Thought I would share my experience.
I was visiting a patient at her home with severe chest problems. She had home oxygen concentrator, a machine in one room with long oxygen tubes to transport the oxygen wherever she needed.
As I was examining her she was turning bluer and bluer with lack of oxygen, and she was trying to tell me something from behind the oxygen mask with great difficulty...
Then it struck me and I saved her life
I was standing on her oxygen tube
At home that evening told Shobha 'Honey I saved another life today'
