August 11th, 2009 - 12:54 pm ICT by IANS
Los Angeles, Aug 11 (IANS) The infamous oxygen chamber that the late pop star Michael Jackson used to lie in has been found in a storage department in San Diego, California.
Mirror.co.uk reports that the Sechrist 2500B hyperbaric oxygen chamber allows one to breathe 100 percent pure oxygen while normal air has less than 21 percent. The treatment lasts up to two hours and leaves the patients leaving euphoric.
Brotman Memorial Hospital in Culver City, California, bought the chamber in 1985 to treat burns victims. Jacko was treated there in 1984 for burns he suffered filming a Pepsi ad. His subsequent $1.48 mn donation allowed the unit to buy the device.
But now the $99,000 machine is gathering dust in a warehouse.
