Should all near-drowning victims go to the hospital?

No: If you are ok, have not lost consciousness and don't have any after-effects, you don't need to go to the hospital. Just be careful in the future!

YES & NO: Everybody should see a lung specialist or go to the hospital. Lung problems can be picked early and could be treated more easily if diagnosed early.
