I recently finished "The Last Dive" by Bernie Choudhury(sp?).
I can't help thinking that they botched Chrissy Rouse's recompression treatment. If he had gotten bent today, would he be able to survive?
From what I remember, Chrissy Rouse was regaining feeling in his limbs and speaking coherently until they decided to depressurize him from 160 feet to 60 feet, at which point he lost consciousness and died.
Shouldn't they have kept him at 160 feet for a few days, if possible, rather than sticking to the standard Navy protocol and keeping him there for only a few hours? Could someone illuminate me on this?
