Again I ask: What are the numbers inside of the brackets? What do they mean?

im guessing that it came out of a manuel and the brackets on the right side are probably page or paragraph numbers. thats my best guess.

I was taking medication that my doctor and my tech instructor knew about until January of this year. The reason that I mention my tech instructor is because he is an ER doc.

When I was taking those meds, I would routinely tell my dive buddies so that they knew and could make the choice of whether or not to dive with me. The doseages weren't high enough to interfere with anything, so no one ever said no.

As far as the boat captains and operators went, I didn't go out of my way to tell them. Now, if I had a condition that may cause them issues (diabetes comes to mind), I would have let one of the would be rescuers know that I had it as there are slightly different procedures with some of these conditions. And many of them, as Scubatooth points out, are such that if they are acting up, you will not feel like diving anyways.
A person should be judged in this life not by the mistakes that they make nor by the number of them. Rather they are to be judged by their recovery from them.

I was also shocked at the list when I first came accross it.
I put ( medical conditions diving) in a google search.

I really dont know what the numbers mean in the brakets??
maybe the numbers correspond with the number in question (again ???)
