Lee,

The question though is does he disclose his condition to prospective
students, etc up front? If not, then this is NOT FREE CHOICE. I'm sure you
can see the difference between the two.

Don,
That's one of the great things about this country.  We have  free choice
within the law...so you can choose what risk you find acceptable, which
training you deem as best, and how to spend your dollars and time. You can
express these views to others,possibly influencing their decisions.
However, you cannot force others to agree with you or impede another
individuals expression of their free choice.
Caveat Emptor.
Lee

Cut through the bullshit and get to the point. Would you trust your life to
him and his condition? Would you trust your childrens' life to him? THAT is
the one and only issue here. Having a "mild chance" of a recurrance is one
thing in a low stress situation such as walking down the street. It's a
whole different matter back in a cave. ESPECIALLY when that not only
compromises his safety but also the lives of all his students on the dive
that are NOT TRAINED to handle the situation. It is a potential multiple
fatality waiting to happen.

George,
Of course my post is "bullshit"...I didn't agree with you .  However you
missed the point.  I have not evaluated Bill's diving fitness or made
recommendations
for his future in diving.  I only reported what the trained expert in
cardiolgy determined in his evaluation and care of Mr. Rennaker.  If you
wish to call 
Dr. Omeara and tell him that he is a "fuck up" thats your option.  
BTW,  if you are going to quote me GIR or don't bother.  
Lee
