Alan, If you have a company -- just call any gas company -- order up 4-6 bottles of USP 251's ---- delivered ........ there is no need for a presription for getting O2 from a gas company- if you go to the local medical supplier they will require one. Next of course is to get your own cylinders. And they will just rotate yours thrugh thier system. I have been buying oxygen for years, have never had anyone ask for a script --- even on Tortola. I send a fax on company letter head -- telling them I will be arriveing on x-date --- and will need 2 bottles of USP 251's --- walkin pick em up. Try again. At 11:58 AM 9/9/1998 -0400, Alan D.
