Tampa doctor?

[Osprey]

Hey all, I know several of you are around the Tampa/St. Pete area, and I was wondering if any of you knew any doctors who are dive savvy that I could talk to about my asthma? As I have stated before, it isn't serious and only triggered by allergents like smoke or rodent dander (don't ask), but I'd like to talk it over with him/her so we can get all my info cleared up before I sign up for classes (since I know they will ask my medical history!)

Miss you all!

Sounds like as long as you don't smoke or play with rats while diving, you should be ok!

Just kidding, I hope you get the help you need.

Sorry, I have to ask: Rodent Dander??? Pet shop or pest control are my two guesses.

If no one here can help, you can call DAN and ask for a referral (you don't have to be a member to call).

or - you can try asking here Scuba Clinic - Index

The answer to rodents; I was in school to be an exotics vet, specializing in birds and reptiles. However, I had to get my time in with rodents to get my degree. I went to the hospital when my lungs shut off instead... oops!!!

And thanks for the DAN link.. don't know why I never think of that!
