Roz and I are in Thailand and Roz is getting some surgery done we are exploring the Hyperbaric chambers and how they are in Thailand. They like everywhere else in the world use them extensively. Using their chambers after surgery nearly doubles the recovery time, helps breathing and the list goes on.
We started using the light one first and yesterday we used the new big daddy one she was the first to use it. These chambers are $ 150k plus, really comfortable, and have some great bells and whistles but still not much better than the one we have. The small one had 1.3 atmospheres and the big one had 1.5 our one is 1.4 so go figure. Everyone uses the chambers after surgery it makes a big difference in recovery. I still know more than them about how to use it, but hey it does the job. Good to see how others use it and compare, we have another three sessions for Roz before we leave. Also to note is the pricing! The big one is NZ$100 per hour and this is cheap Thailand. We do an hour and a half for three sessions for $65 so we are far too cheap. HYperbacic chambers are used extensively everywhere, except in New Zealand which is far behind in recognising the importance of hyperbaric treatments. One thing I did learn was seeing the oxygen masks they were using which are far better than the cannulas, more expensive but they have an oxygen bag attached so you get 100% oxygen intake. I managed to get a few, I have to see if I can get more.
We are closed at the moment and are moving to our new home on Third Street, once we have set up again we will open to business if people want to use it. Roz will be using it every day once we get back.
