General Discussion

Honestly, how can even those who never got past high school biology/chemistry not realize the risk--especially for a child in these devices--much less anyone else? These aren't the hyperbaric chamber 'ROOMs" that are depicted for divers and others, but basically tombs. Hell, I could not even stand a tanning bed--too claustrophobic, but I damned well know how flammable pure oxygen is. Damn!

And, no, I'm not saying hyperbaric oxygen does not have a multitude of valid uses--in fact, more than we are doing now because of cost. Take the cancer patient with unhealed, horrific skin lesions post-radiation. This would be incredibly useful, but rarely used because of availability and cost.

But a child that is awake and with questionable indications? Good gawd.
