Patients are always asking me about hyperbaric oxygen.

It's truly one of the things I get asked about the most.

And I generally tell patients it's not worth the cost.

It's not worth the hassle.

It's not worth the inconvenience.

Outside of the approved FDA indications, the only thing I would suggest going against the FDA recommendation is if I were to have a concussion, if one of my kids had a concussion, I would probably say the downside of hyperbaric oxygen is low enough.

I think the potential upside is there.

I think it's worth the risk.

First of all, do you agree with that statement?

If not, modify it.

What protocol would you recommend in that situation?

Okay.

Okay.

We're not military.

Yeah.

Okay.

You're talking two months.

And you can understand why I don't recommend people do this.

That's a job.

You just basically decided you're not working for a month because if you got to drive 30 minutes each way and you're going to spend 90 minutes in it, that's two and a half hours, five days a week.
