In Peru, a man suffers from a rare condition following a diving incident. In 2013, Alejandro 'Willy' Ramos Martinez was diving to a depth of over 30 meters off the coast of Pisco in search of seafood when his oxygen hose was torn off by a passing boat, forcing him to ascend rapidly to the surface. The sudden drop in pressure caused nitrogen bubbles to form in his chest and arms, leading to a medical condition known as decompression sickness, or 'the bends.' The bubbles adhered to his muscles and organs, making surgery impractical. As a result, the circumference of his arms and chest swelled to approximately 62 cm and 72 cm, respectively. Willy survived by a miracle but was left disfigured. He stated that he fell into a period of depression due to pitiful looks from others but overcame it. The Peruvian man added that he wants to return to diving if possible, emphasizing the need to respect the sea. His case is unique in the world, as the symptoms of decompression sickness are usually entirely different. Doctors managed to remove about 30% of the large nitrogen bubbles from his body, but eight years later, Martinez is still searching for a cure.
