So Friday night and I'm watching a video on #hyperbaric medicine [1] (as one does), and I was stuck by the fairly radical notion of informed consent proposed in the consensus paper on #InWaterRecompression. Unsurprisingly the two people providing care need specialized training (decompression procedures) but interestingly the patient needs to be trained to the same level in order to understand the risks.
