Can we go over what preconditions exist that might cause someone to take
an underserved hit, or just plain increase the risk.  Which ones can you
get checked out by a doctor, which ones can you do something about.

I know of PFO - which can you can have checked by a doctor.  Nothing you
can do about this one.  Some 'experts' say it's ok to dive with this, but
from what I've heard from George, he feels it's an absolute 'NO'.

Being fat/out of shape - you can have this checked by most mirrors, and it
is fixed by running shoes/bike/gym etc

People have mentioned 'shunts'.  What are these, what can be done about
them, how serious are they etc.

thanks,
Steve
