Hey guys

I was browsing my Polish FB diving group, and found a recent post about a polish firefighter diver, who has been hit with DCS.
He has explained in details his accident and further medical treatment. Unfortunately, it seems like he is unable to find in Poland a specialist, with advanced knowledge of treating long term DCS Type 2.

His name is Jarek Maciejewski, and with his permission, I am attaching a file with his story. If there is anybody that could help and point him to an overseas specialist, that would be appreciated.

He sacrificed his health to save another diver in distress.

I have tagged @Duke Dive Medicine who may offer some insight.
 
Has he called DAN? They can probably help him locate someone.
 
His situation seems similar to what an American instructor, with whom some of us here are aquainted, is going through.

It's a bit of a haul, but Peter Germonpre in Brussels is a renowned diving medical specialist. PM sent.

Best regards,

Amazing guy and definitely within reach of Poland (literally next door)

He is the author of the book "Diving Medicine", currently preparing a revised English version of this book together with prof. Akinem. S. Toklu, Director of the Diving Medicine Institute of the University of Istanbul (TR).

60 years of active diving practice, and 'After studying at the Medical Faculty of Charles University in Bratislava and Martin, he started to focus on diving medicine, in particular forensic examination and assessment of the causes and consequences of survivors and fatal accidents of divers.'
