My father is getting back into diving after 34 years, and things have changed, in the sport and for himself. Basically his situation is his entire spine is fused, he had a horrible dirt bike accident and a few other accidents that caused disk damage. After several surgeries he now has a fused spine...the whole thing.
During his Cert course he wasn't able to complete the 200m swim, after his failed attempt, and injury to himself at this swim the instructor found out about his issue. He told my father to go see his Doctor and get the doctor to sign a medical release. With the release my father can skip the swim and continue on.
PROBLEM: Doctor refused to sign the damn release! He told my father if he did he would be open to a lawsuit if something happen. Now this Doctor has been my family's Doctor for over 30 years! I think the man is nuts in his age, but that doesn't change the situation. My father even offered to sign a Liability Release for Doctor. Still No. I guess one solution would be find a new doctor, but anyone else run into this sort of deal, how did you handle it and get it resolved?
