    Ok, oxygen is EASY to make. Electricity and water. You
    can also strip it off of methane.

    However "medical" oxygen is kinda 'special' - has to
    pass certifications. Sick people may need to breath
    it all the time, so extra purity is a must.

    Seems there MAY be problems there.

    SOME users buy the kinda expensive devices that
    concentrate oxygen direct from the air. However
    those are kinda expensive - and, being machines,
    can BREAK. You'd need a backup supply in cylinders
    Just In Case.

    Hospitals use huge amounts of medical oxygen. If
    there's a shortage, or sharp price increase, it's
    something of a DISASTER.
