Diving Doctors

I am proposing that we have lots of divers on this board, that have over the years found physicians, dentists, nurses, physical therapists, etc who dive, and/ or can give good advise to divers or potential divers. I would like to start a data base of such people for two reasons. 1) To have a referral list for ourselves for anyone who has a dive related issue and wants to go see someone about it. and 2) To collect names of medically related specialists to offer them combined diving and continuing education trips.
If anyone has names of medical people that they know and recommend, here is what I would suggest. Send me a private message with their name, city, and contact info. I will contact them individually and ask if they would want to be in a dive medicine referral base. If so, I will keep their info in a private database, and refer to people on a case by case basis depending on the individual's medical condition and location.
This will of course start out slow, and I will only keep records of the medical folks who agree. I do think that if there is a way to hook up divers/ potential divers with diving savvy health care providers, then all parties benefit.
Please use this thread to give me your thoughts, discuss your experiences with medicine, etc, but send specific names to me privately.

I am not sure that they would be able to keep up with the SD.com women, but all are welcome. Thanks for the referrals.

I know some diving nurses who would fit right in (one's a member already).

Hi Triggerfish!! Tanks for dropping in! NP told me he'd met you! Perhaps you'll feel comfortable contributing the health and medical questions!there are lots of diving nurses and docs here at the university of chicago. NP met one on a recent lecture trip!
We look forward to meeting you on a future Single Divers trip and of course on the site as you find places to contribute...ask questions...or just show your humorous side!!
Please consider posting an intro so that others can get to know you as well!! We find we have to make NP share sometimes with the rest of us!! LOL!!
Sea you soon...ww

WW, be careful asking her to show her humorous side! Very funny, but not for the weak of heart.
Glad you are posting, T. and ask around if the diving medical gang there want to be listed in a referral data base. Patient referrals + helping divers + CE trips in cool dive locations. What more could they ask for?

I can tell you right now if you are a diver and don't use a dentist who is a diver...SWITCH now!!!
Here's why...I was getting a crown done and he was go to schedule the temp crown work when he stopped and said..."When is your next dive trip?" As it turns out it was in 2 weeks and the permanent crown would not have been ready in time and he said "NO" and "HECK NO" to diving 100+ feet on a temporairy crown.
Now you can't imagine how relieved I was...had it been anyone else I may of had all kinds of problems that I don't even want to think of!!!
Moral of the story...dive with a diving doctor and a diving dentist and dive MUCH SAFER!!! And if you can dive with a diving nurse...then you are just plain lucky!!! LOL!!!

w2, i'm with you. diving docs are fine, but when it comes to helping when the lake michigan flu is running rampant on a boat, it's the nurses holding hands and wiping mouths!
and, NP...i guess it depends on your definition of "lucky" !!
