Guest guest Posted October 5, 2008 Report Share Posted October 5, 2008 Best in his field is an opinion of yours, and is hardly the truth. You really need to get off of your high horse. Double blind studies are not the only way to get insurance coverage. Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry Re: [ ] Re: Diabetic foot ulcers. That is pretty harsh condemnation for someone that is the best in his field. Tom Workman is one of the few people in the field that I would turn to with questions about any aspect of the field without question (Dick is also another who also is not an MD). As for qualifications, he spent his life being trainied in hyperbarics while an officer in the Air Force. Not everyone in the field has an MD after thier name, but can read the results of a LARGE, RANDOMIZED, DOUBLE BLINDED STUDY- not a collection of case studies. With iinsurance companies requiring best practice evidence bases studieds in all areas of medicine, hyperbarics has to follow suit. Wayne D.

Guest guest Posted October 6, 2008 Report Share Posted October 6, 2008 You must realize it is for them. See once Hyperbarics gets approved mainstream they need a retirement fund. So they need that 20 million dollar study in order for it to go mainstream so they can feed there family's in this high an mighty life stile they have...

Guest guest Posted October 8, 2008 Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 Double blind studies may not be the only way to get insurance coverage, but they most accepted way.? After dealing with first HCFA and now CMS for years I know these are the only studies that they take seriously, which could be why the " studies " coming in from India and Thailand are not accepted as gospel by the medical community.?Until these studies are peer reviewed and accepted into major medical publications (JAMA, etc.) they will not sway many people. ?
