DCBC,
I'm sure you are much more experienced on these technical issues and experience. So the reports and stories I am retelling can have counterweights and stories from people like your that caution differently. We need all aspects of this, though the reports I am reading from MDs and cases is compelling that IWR is effective. But maybe I'm missing something, that's why discussions are healthy and provoke the exchange of information.
So let's take your personal experience: Let's pretend that you believed IWR was effective in your experience. What condition or symptom of your buddy would have prevented you from reintroducing him back into the water? Does a face mask not work as the MD says it should, or was the medical condition such that it would have been impossible? IF so, could you give some more details?....I'm not being nosy or judgmental, just trying to see if there are details the other reports are missing.
