Re: Patent Foramen Ovale At least you now know what caused the bend, my friend carried on diving with his PFO until he had the operation. He used to have skin bends after nearly every dive. You might be able to jump the NHS waiting list if you pay privately to see a consultant for the first consult he will then add you to his NHS list. Ask the Diving Doc I am sure he/she will be able to recommend a consultant. Anyway good luck and fingers crossed it may be 30m depth limit and not 10m (English sense of humour) Louis |
