It's used for a lot of stuff, the pure O2 environment helps reduce scar tissue, healing of venomous bites/tissue necrosis... I sometimes transported patients to hyperbaric treatment in Beverly Hills from Cedars Sinai. They also treated patients that got boob jobs to reduce scar tissue. One day a hot ass boob job patient came out of the changing room and our patient went in to change, Kenny (guy that ran the chambers) told her absolutely no metal in the chamber as it could cause a static electricity discharge, she opened her gown, threw her leg up on a chair and removed her clit piercing
I did 42 hours of HBO in 1-hour increments. There was a small child that suffered a near drowning that was also going through treatments. hyperbaric oxygen therapy is used for a lot of medical conditions.

I don't want to even imagine debriding of burns
When I had my wreck, a couple weeks in the ENT shows up, to fix my right ear. The top had been kind of torn off. Well, since it had been awhile, they had to do something called "debreeding". I'd never heard of it before...
Mine was neck and face, (second and third degree) they used cadaver skin that they run through an expander so it looks like expanded metal, so I was fortunate enough not to have to go through harvesting my own skin (Lucky me).I don't want to even imagine debriding of burns
Mother F'r! I think they use the scuff wheel for patching tires.

… Friend of mine was badly burned in an MGM studio fire in the 70s… spent a very long time at the Grossman Burn Center in Sherman Oaks… late 70s… his many many hours in their hyperbaric chamber also helped a leg wound stop oozing that he had received in the Vietnam War…Mine was neck and face, (second and third degree) they used cadaver skin that they run through an expander so it looks like expanded metal, so I was fortunate enough not to have to go through harvesting my own skin (Lucky me).
I was put under once, but the second time it was a huge dose of morphine and IDK what else, I'm sure they torture prisoners with less
Good times.
I cringe when I see that word. It's a synonym for massive pain.I don't want to even imagine debriding of burns

I once told my doctor as he was debriding my wound, it felt like he was using a lawn rake. Seemed sort of like job security to me. Truthfully, it is a necessary medical procedure which promotes proper healing. At least that’s their story and they’re sticking with it. Lol. It’s no fun, for sure.
Probably a soft shell unit? The hard shell unit that I used was large and expensive. I think the issue with the soft shell units is you can't do simulated deeper depths / atmospheres.
About a year ago I was picking up something for Chicken Dan in Camp Verde. The gentleman had a shop, much like his, mad scientist/fabrication. As it turns out, he'd recently moved to AZ with his wife, for health reasons. He'd sold his automotive parts manufacturing company...one that was relatively well known.
I was paying $200.00 an hour in the early 2000's. I would drive up to Santa Monica from San Diego and do 4 treatments in two days and stay overnight. They were the only place that had clear tubes you could see out of. I honestly hated it. Being locked in a chamber that is several inches thick, and the only way out is for a tech to open the door had all kinds of crazy thoughts going through my head. Sometimes there would only be one tech working and I would worry about something happening to them while I was locked inside.
Beverly Hills Hyperbaric, on Beverly Dr?
If I remember correctly most medical treatments are less than an atmosphere, so not a lot of pressure
It was in downtown Santa Monica a few blocks inland from the pier. I don't remember the name of the place. It was owned by a group of doctors.
Didn't even know about that place. The only places I knew about in the area that had a chamber were Beverly Hills Hyperbaric, UCLA Westwood and Harbor City, County USC and Catalina.
They had two chambers both were clear tubes. I was seeing a doctor in LA at the time that hooked me up with the place. They did a lot of post plastic surgery patients.
Same with the place I mentioned, clear chambers and post plastic surgery patients
Only chamber I would go in. The ones in San Diego were steel with porthole windows. No fucking way.
Gonna be impossible to mentally heal from that.
Those poor parents.
Mom was on the plane also.
Sorry my bad.
