Hyperbaric therapy if administered in time can undo or even prevent further damage after carbon monoxide poisoning. Essentially, the CO binds preferentially with the hemoglobin in the blood which transports O2 throughout the body. Its like being suffocated from inside. Instead og getting a nice dose of O2, the cells of the body get a dose of deadly poison. The heart and brain require themost O2, so the damage is usually in these two organs. The parts of the brain that are standing at the end of the chow line, so to speak, suffer the most damage. That is why some parts of the brain can be severely impacted while others are relatively unharmed.
Hyberbaric therapy sort of super oxygenates the blood system and can save cells that might otherwise have died.
Orthodoc, sorry about the typo - I meant anoxia. My brain does that now - it creates new and amazing words. Sometimes I catch 'em and sometimes... Oh, well.

LOL! I loved that! Its so damn true! My life has become as tattered as my moth eaten brain. Labrat, I'm sorry I got mad at you, I just get so tired of feeling the need to defend myself to people who have no idea and don't care what I'm talking about.
Dana, you're a dear! And so are you Aliantha, as well as that Cardigan guy.
9th, I'll PM you.
I did NOT want to get into this big fight, I was just fed up with the diet the poor are expected to live on in my county. I didn't mean to start WWIII.
Sure, I mention my life now and then. Everyone on the Cellar does from time to time. Consider me your correspondent from the other side of the looking glass - sometimes.
Now let's go write a poem about Labrat's ass.
