The "who is online" section used to say how many were online, and name the registered users.

I believe doctors/hospitals can loan out the sort of device you seek.


My pharmacy loans the 24hr monitoring bp machine (no charge) if GP asks for it and you get your meds through that pharmacy.

Re: Zero emission road vehicles.
