DiverBuoy:Hmm that's an interesting perspective. Do you have any medical documentation references or materials to support this conclusion?
There are endless books and articles stating how bubbles come out of solution and "can" cause nerve/tissue damage resulting into DCI. With any form or nerve/tissue damage this takes time to heal. Scar tissue is formed and may or may not form back to its original surface tension capabilities (More sensitive to further damage) logic tells me "if another free-radical (Bubble) comes along, this can disrupt the healing process or cause more damage to the sensitive scar tissue from the previous hit"
Please be aware that on every dive there is always some sort of tissue damage due to bubbles in the system, however the body is dealing with it, for a DCS hit we are looking at more than one locolised major damaged area and the consiquenses of all this damage leads to hypoxia (Sign & symptoms occur) if not treated can lead to anoxia (no O2) where perminate damage/server hits occur.
In away you can look at a hernia after surgery for example; it has a high chance or reopening the scar tissue later on in life if you aggravate it. But remember this is only 1 scar tissue compared to DCS multiple tissus damage.
Please note this is MY PERSONAL point of view, after working for 4 years in the field as a Diver Medic and dealing with over 100 DCI cases, with only 3 out of the one hundred being 2nd time hits.
