Pete, a simple echocardiogram will do the trick for most PFO's. I had Zach 
Zacharia do mine, and that is what I call doing it right, not hoping you are
ok. 
If one does what I do diving, one better hope he does not have a pfo. By the 
way, the Brits did some serious studies on this topic, and they found a huge 
corelation between PFO and bends cases where the diver had followed a deco 
computer and got nailed. The rest were fat slobs or other mutants. 

   Obviously , I am not a doctor and you are, and I have this same argument
with 
Doolette, but it seems to me that you guys are a little footlose with 
correlations in this instance, but will not hesitate to make them in other 
situations , like smoking and cancer, right? Well, when somebody gets a 
mysterious CNS hit, and DAN calls it "unearned" is this not a little bit 
suspicious to you? 

   Consider this, tough guy, if I blow a few stops and generate bubbles, and 
these cause the pressure to rise in the cappilariy beds of my lungs, where they 
get filtered out, and are now slowing the flow, the the right side pressure
will 
rise above the left, and the shunt will open, if it is there. This is probably 
what is happening, and the penalty is that you surface acting like Chris Brown, 
only in a lot better shape, and fucked up but not a stroke, but maybe with the 
effects of one.

    Come on Pete, tell these guys to get checked before they check out. This is 
like telling telling a fag it is ok to give head as long as you spit it out - 
you still get aids, and I saw you tell people to get tested for that to go 
diving. Believe me Pete, you will find me doing a lot of PFO testing before I 
get AIDs tested, since the only thing in my mouth is a regulator, and I can't 
get aids form it. So which is it Pete? Get an aids test which <1% of the 
population has, or get a PFO test which 30% have? 

      Talk your way out of this one
