sit, looking at the screen, like you...
Last week, a friend unfortunately suffered from decompression illness on the island of Gozo (Malta).

He was, of course, given oxygen and admitted to Gozo General Hospital.

I have rarely seen such a kind and prompt reception in a hospital emergency department.
The transfer to the hyperbaric department was quickly arranged, efficient organization.
In this department, Dr. Lyubisa Matity and his assistant have demonstrated exemplary responsiveness and quality of care. Both of them clearly showed great competence and special attention.

When a hyperbaric service is operating at such a high level of excellence, it deserves to be highlighted.
