(Subject: shallow DCS):-
  > A DCS casualty was helilifted from St Abbs [on the east coast of Britain
near Berwick-on-Tweed] a few weeks ago after developing symptoms. His dive was
8m deep (26.4 feet). Jason.

  How long was the dive? What had he been doing before, and how long before?,
including other dives or flying. What were the symptoms?, in case they could
have been something else. E.g. temporary numbness of a limb could be from
sitting or resting (e.g. in a dive boat) in a bad posture that squeezes a
nerve; some skin sensations could be from skin infection by the `Tinea pedis'
(= athlete's foot) fungus (which can attack any part of the body, not just the
feet, I should know, I had it in my buttocks once).
