From: David Legge <leggedav@CERF.NET>


I am posting this question for my Father-In-Law.  He is currently
studying Hyperbaric Medicine.  Hyperbaric Medicine is the use of Oxygen
under pressure for the treatment of wounds and deceases.

He has heard that the U.S. Military is currently using Hyperbaric
Chambers for the treatment of battle wounds.  Does anyone have any
information on the current status of this technology.

He has found that the treatments he has administered in his country
have shown great promise in the control of infection and burns.

He would appreciate any specific information relating to the procedures
that are used.

He does not have a mail connection yet, but is in the process of
obtaining one.  You may send mail for him to me.
