Got the Post op staff very excited the time I did it, would not try again with all the appropriate attention now given to medical errors. But it was funny once!!!

They put us in, just for a few minutes, to get a feel of what it’s like.

So I go in, they pressurize for a few minutes, then back down.

The tech lets me out, asks me how I felt.

“Just fine, thanks. Havent’t felt this good since they fixed my pneumothorax last week.”

I wish I had a camera.
