Good "medical" diving book

[duskdiver]

I am looking for a book regarding all diving related medical issues with pictures with a bit more info then the usual stuff.
I found a book, with MRI's, X-rays, pictures etc..but in french, unfortunately I don't read french.
Anyone?

Did you try looking at what DAN has?

I would recommend "Diving Medicine" by Alfred A. Bove, MD, PhD. Here's a link to it on Amazon.com:

Amazon.com: Bove and Davis' Diving Medicine (9780721660561): Alfred A., Md. Bove: Books

It is very thorough on a whole variety of medical issues in diving. Besides, like me, Dr. Bove is a cardiologist so I have to support his book.

This book, Dangerous Marine Creatures, by Carl Edmonds, M.D., is a fascinating read for the layman. It includes information directed at other physicians too, but it is separated into sections that allow you to easily skip it if you want. Obviously, it doesn't cover all diving-related medical issues.

Amazon.com: Dangerous Marine Creatures (Diversification Series) (9780941332392): Carl Edmonds: Books

See if you can locate one of the course manuals used for Dive Medic Technician courses. Hard to find (I know), but they are great.

Hi Duskdiver:

Diving and Subaquatic Medicine by Edmonds, Lowry and Pennefather

is the most complete of which I am aware.
