Question What happens when you get 'Bent'?

Ok, i know what happens to you physically- you get all fizzy and it hurts like hell. Lets not go into that here.

But what is it like being air lifted to the pot? Do they stick needles and tubes in you at every given opportunity? And then what do the medics do to you? More needles? Chest x-ray? or do they just chuck you in the pot asap? How do you get back from the pot considering you are usually air lifted in your undersuit and thats it?
Also what do they do if you have lung damage?
What about follow ups?

I know what they do will be dictated very much by the severity of the bend - a CNS is going to be treated very differently to a skin rash. Also ABC's will be priority. Lets not be silly, we all know that.



I dont ever intend on getting bent, im just sat here wondering what happens when you do.....
