Good to hear that your PFO was successfully fixed.
However this has got me thinking.....
I've never had more than sub-clinical dcs, but I guess given the statistics, there's always the chance that I might actually have a pfo lurking in the background ready to bite me.
So if I was to pay for a pfo test and if one was subsequently discovered would it be fixable on the nhs, or would I have to pay for a private operation (I've heard some frightening costs bandied about)?
Any comments gratefully received
cheers
Matt
Matt:
unsure what sort of dives you are pulling and where your personal comfort level sits with regards playing guinea pig with deco theory, but reading through the literature -- have a butcher's at the stuff Marv (saturation) has on his site -- it would seem to me to be somewhat extreme to be tested without due cause.
That said, someone like Marv would be the best person to ask... take care
