    NIBP vs Manual BP

    I agree with most of what you say. My distrust is due to being around Zolls. They have a horrible NIBP. I hear the X series is a major improvement and looking forward to the switch. I do find the LP 15 to at least give a believable B/P. One other draw back to the NIBP is the death grip...

    I think the biggest reason for not dealing with a stronger hand with North Korea is South Korea. South Korea especially Seoul, would be devastated by North Korea's artillery
