I'll answer in reverse...There are a few assumptions going on there.
How do you know others (apart from Zeberdi), don't know what an oxymeter is for? Have you met them all?
Why are you advising people not to buy medical stuff from Amazon? Have you reviewed it all?
Why did you ignore your own advice and buy a thermometer from Amazon? Why did you buy the thermometer anyway? Was it because you had a temperature?
I have a thermometer, 2 in fact. 1 old fashioned mercury, another digital under tongue or armpit. Jnr can't put the thermometers under his tongue, armpits are not perfect so I thought I'd test the one that I was 'given' from my mum that she brought from Amazon. It's not accurate. I could probably search my mums order history to tell you what not to buy.
I'm going to answer your question with a question (which is wrong I know) but would you suggest to someone to buy a potentially lifesaving bit of equipment from the chemist or an online retailer? I've bought so much general shit from online retailers that there's no way I'd trust it with medical stuff, you can sue your local chemist. It's going to be difficult to sue a major online retailer. I don't trust online retailers with charging cables let alone something that may save my life!!!
@seagullsausage3 pointed out the reason why oxymeters are a good idea which I've just said to them I wasn't aware of the advice.
