The Uncertain Miracle

Hyper (more) Baric (pressure).

This could be the most important book written in the 21st century about hyperbaric science. Inside, you'll discover the untold stories of the pioneers of the hyperbaric universe: Dr. George B. Hart, Dr. Orvil Cunningham, and other "giants" of early hyperbaric intervention, whose names and work must not disappear from history.

It was a day when the suffering patient took priority over institutional, profit-based protocol. At great personal cost, passion overrode permission, and these pioneers discovered a new frontier. Their scientific research and work in hyperbarics is as important to medicine as fire was to ancient peoples.
