Guest guest Posted June 11, 2007 Report Share Posted June 11, 2007 Thanks Todd, Because of the possibilities of a pneumothorax is why the lungs where immediately checked, but again everyone wanting to play Doctor with an opinion would not know this! Amazing someone thought this was an unnecessary step in our procedure? from a so called " foot Doctor " I refer to him as Dr. S. Starinski, DPM, MS, CWS professor of Biology and is ACLS / CHT certified. more then qualified I would think yes? R. Todd Giager wrote: > > You cannot decompress the chamber until the seizure stops.

Guest guest Posted June 12, 2007 Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 Aaaauuuugggghhhh! That was supposed to say " MISLEADING in my post " . I was misleading in my original post. Decompressing a chamber if someone is holding their breath would be VERY bad. My original post was incorrect in several ways and I am glad I have been corrected. My second post was supposed to fix the first and I made a typo error. Man, oh, man, I think I'll just stay out of this one now and let the experts handle it! > > > > > > > > > > Greetings all, > > > > > Has anyone ever heard of this place?
