Hello.

Hello. How are you? How are you? How are you doing?

I feel like I'm going into hibernation sort of.

Where like I don't have any thoughts or feelings, and I'm just like, inert.

Ah, we have a word for that.

What's it called?

Depressed. depressed. I want to talk about this on a future episode because I don't know how to even define depression anymore.

Yeah, I mean, me neither.

Anyway, we've gotten many, many wonderful listener questions, and we're going to do our best

to answer a couple.

And I will remind everyone, Jim is a medical doctor. Oh yeah well

it's not medical advice though. I'm a generalist you know I know a lot of stuff, but I'm an expert in nothing, so I'll tell you what the

experts say. Great. I'm like an aggregator. I'm like the Coachella of doctors. I don't understand this fixation with Coachella, but you're like the the

Huffington Post doctors. I'll let to think on that one.

Anyway, okay, so this is from Michelle.

be a good tool to use to determine

So remind me what a pulse oximeter is.

It's that thing that they clip on your finger when you're very sick
