Diving Emergencies

[NSMEDIC]

Hello All,
I'm a Paramedic in the Canadian province of Nova Scotia. I am putting together a presentation for local Paramedics on Diving Emergencies. I would like too have this presented by May as the dive season will be starting soon. I am looking for personal experiences or stories that you know. I am just looking for Age..Sex..What happened during the dive..what was your treatment..and was there any factors that increased your risk ie medical conditions..out drinking the night before..etc. etc. You can PM me or post them here.

You might also want to ask this question in the Public Safety Divers (http://www.scubaboard.com/forums/public-safety-divers/) forum as well. Lots of knowledgeable professionals over there. If you post a link to this thread, it might encourage collecting all the answers in one place, for future reference.
