Hi Captain
I agree that most people including myself would like to get back to normal and that is why I am sharing useful diving medical information.
You are totally welcome to ignore it, but please, do not try to moderate my post.
Just because you are not interested, it doesn't mean that others may not be.
This is valuable information about diving related medicine coming form a highly respected source. The subjects covered by the three doctors include a lot of important subjects.
If someone doesn't want to add to their knowledge, that is up to them to move along and ignore my post.
Added some stuff about DAN:
I assumed that everyone here is familiar with Divers Alert Network and is hopefully a member.
If you are not a member, please consider becoming a member.
We have been to many presentations from DAN in hyperbaric and diving medicine and they have all been great. They are a leader in research on DCS (decompression sickness) and diving medicine.
If you ever have any diving medical question they can help you or at least try to help you. They have a lot of information on their web site, but you can also call them. If you call them with a question, they actually have a human being that will answer the phone and try to help you. I have called them several times with questions.

Here is some information about DAN:
Divers Alert Network (DAN) is a group of not-for-profit organizations dedicated to improving diving safety for all divers. It was founded in Durham, North Carolina, United States, in 1980 at Duke University providing 24/7 telephonic hot-line diving medical assistance. Since then the organization has expanded globally and now has independent regional organizations in North America, Europe, Japan, Asia-Pacific and Southern Africa.
DAN has an international network of emergency call centers which operate 24 hours a day to provide members with specialized assistance for diving emergencies from a group of experts in Diving and Hyperbaric Medicine
Divers Alert Network America, DAN America, or just DAN is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization devoted to assisting divers in need. It is supported by donations, grants, and membership dues. Its research department conducts medical research on recreational scuba diving safety while its medical department helps divers to find answers to their diving medical questions. Regions of coverage include the United States and Canada.
International DAN (IDAN) comprises independently administered nonprofit DAN organizations based around the world that provide expert emergency medical and referral services to regional diving communities. Each DAN depends on the support of the divers of its region to provide its safety and educational services, and may provide locally appropriate insurance options. They operate under protocol standards set by the IDAN Headquarters.
DAN (America) serves as the headquarters for IDAN.
