After reading many DCI accident reports and possible DCI incidents, I have decided to
document any aches, pains and sickness that I have prior to diving. As I read the reports and incidents, the victims report all kinds of aches and I wonder if they could have had them before the incident.
I play hockey, somewhat accident prone, and sometimes have some aches (pulled muscle, bruises, strain etc.) and rarely pay much attention to them.
We are going down south soon and if something does happen and I got a mild hit, (or suspect it), or worsen a strain, I probably wouldnt correctly recall if the problem was there before. Mostly likely nothing will happen, but if it does, Id rather be proactive than guess.
I will document:
aches, strains, sprains, recent sickness, vision, hearing, bruises.
attributes:
general or localized, location, severity, one or both sides, re-occurring, range of motion.
I dont want a long history but enough to be helpful. Ill print it out on a 4x6 card and carry it in a waterproof baggie, with my C-cards (on board.)
