This was a fake right?  Please somebody tell me it was a fake.

What, exactly, in your opinion, would qualify as expertise or formal
training on the issue of in water resucitation in the ocean?  If George
promises to take the PADI rescue diver course, will that satisfy you?

I guess being married to a head trauma nurse, being surrounded by doctors in
his work, social life and whom he trains with, having leading diving
physicians from around the world calling to exchange information, having
read and practically memorized most of the best diving physiolgy texts,
having consulted with most of the big oil companies on diving protocals,
being born and raised around the water, diving for more years than most
anybody on this list, running the leading technical diving project in the
world with some of the top military diving doctors coming around to see how
he does things AND having access to Bill Mee,  doesn't count.

You crack me up.
Trout
