Default Can welding Oxygen be used in place of medical oxygen?

Is there any difference between a tank of welding oxygen vs medical

Yes there is a difference according to my first aid training (years
ago). You can use in the case of emergency. It is IIRC too dry to
use for extended periods (I should have paid more attention to that
discussion).
