Thank you Rob!
Clearly I was emotionally involved with the situation because this person is a close friend and I have been preoccupied and worried about him and his family for the past two weeks. He was in critical condition when I initially took him to the chamber, and I shutter to think of what would have been if I hadn't called to make dinner plans (he thought he had a bad case of food poisoning or something and was going to wait it out until the next day) I was present for about 99% of everything, and although I wasn't happy with what was going on at the time, they did right in the end and stood by the mission that DAN represents, which makes me feel a whole lot better. Once the right people at DAN were involved, things happened fast and fairly.
I did receive a nice letter from DAN as well and my friend received a personal phone call from Dan Orr, which was impressive. In light of all of the chain of events, I now suspect your phone call to them was instrumental, so thank you
Everyone is happy now..the Dr. is paid, my friend is not out-of-pocket a penny, and DAN has lived up to their reputation of being a good friend to divers in need.
