1. A portable patient monitoring apparatus adapted for being carried by a medical patient and having as its primary function the reception and then wireless transmission to a remote monitoring device of medical data acquired from the patient, and having a secondary function of also providing the medical data to an output port of the telemetry transmitter for facilitating local monitoring of the medical data, comprising:

  • receiving circuitry adapted for being coupled to said patient for receiving a plurality of analog signals representing a sensed condition of the patient;

    wireless transmitting circuitry, including a signal processor and a wireless signal transmitter coupled to the receiving circuitry for forming an output signal representing the patient'"'"'s condition and transmitting said output signal via a wireless transmission to a remote monitoring device;

    an analog output port included as part of the wireless transmitting circuitry; and

    output means coupled to the receiving circuitry for providing a plurality of analog output signals representing the patient'"'"'s condition to the analog output port of the wireless transmitting circuitry simultaneously with the transmission of said output signal to the remote monitoring device.
