title: Hyperbaric oxygen therapy: caveat doctor!
abstract: In the right hands, hyperbaric oxygen therapy is a safe and legitimately employed treatment modality for some specific medical conditions. It is not a panacea. It is a prescriptive treatment which should be administered only under the direct supervision of a trained hyperbaric physician. Caveat doctor!
