  • «Treadmill Accuracy Testing Fun» with DC Rainmaker is no fun at all for a physiologist like Peter Gamma. The device is too little robust as you can see in the above video.
  • And this Schiller CS 200 Ergospirometry Diagnostic Equipment from the Dr’s Toy Store for 23 000 USD:
  • is no fun at all for Peter Gamma, since 23 000 USD is too much for a home lab for a physiologist like him who live at the MRIS:
