HEALING THAT'S AHEAD OF THE TIMES

BY ROBERT L. FISCHER AND GRADY T. BIRDSONG

Editors Note: The Miracle Workers of South Boulder Road: Healing the Signature Wounds of War tells a dramatic story of how a severely disabled young stroke victim healed himself using an element that only nature can provide: oxygen. It also describes how he and three other "Miracle Workers" began to help others. He learned how to render this important treatment therapy to veterans returning home from the Middle East with traumatic brain injuries and related post-traumatic stress.

These Miracle Workers are healing lives with one of America's most successful integrated hyperbaric oxygen treatment and PTSD counseling programs. The following is the second chapter in a series of articles about this process.

CHAPTER 2 RYAN FULLMER

Upon entering the Rocky Mountain Hyperbaric Institute, it is easy to misjudge who is in charge, with the hustle and bustle of patients, technicians, and family members milling around. Yet, that first impression of this clinic also reveals the efficient and orderly management of two types of clientele, the civilian patients and the military veterans who seek treatment for their post-service injuries.

The first impression of Ryan Fullmer is that he is another patient in the clinic since his quiet, unassuming, low-key manner and attire mask his astute management style; that is until he spots a problem or senses he must intervene to keep the daily activity on schedule. Only then does it become apparent that he is the director of this unique business.

His position also becomes evident when he briefs a new patient or a confused veteran for the first time. He quietly explains the program and shows them what they can expect

when entering the hyperbaric chamber in his sparkling clean chamber room.

You may also find him presenting his introductory video to a visitor or a family member interested in what the process offers. His clinic treats and heals the whole spectrum of these signature wounds, both physically and mentally.

Ryan is a master of his workplace. His Title: The Miracle Workers of South Boulder Road: Healing the Signature Wounds of War Authors: Robert L. Fischer and Grady T.

It is then that others become enthused with his dedication and knowledge of hyperbaric therapy and its proven healing results.

When did this modest, unassuming individual become interested in such a different treatment program as hyperbaric therapy? Indeed, he did not learn about America's medical community, where hyperbaric oxygen treatment ranks low, including acupuncture, chiropractic, and other alternative medicine therapies.
