Well done.

Also read about 'Secondary drowning'

I have advised two people who have been recovered from the water about the chance they would suffer this, and it saved their lives.

Yes, remember them explaining that in an episode of Baywatch once...see it was an educational programme!

Weirdly, thats where I saw it too!

A few years later, back in 1999 actually, I was in Indonesia doing some white water rafting when another boat capsized and a guy was fished out and resucitated.

I saw him in the hotel later, and told him he should be in hospital being monitored, as his lungs would react to being waterlogged, and he would possibly drown. He kinda laughed, so i told his sober looking Wife to monitor him constantly.

Later, when he started having problems breathing, she called an Ambulance, and I next saw him in a wheelchair, thanking me for saving his life!!

Baywatch saved his life in a strange way... (Being a scuba Diver I knew more than the program, but it was interesting to 'see' it happening)
