airman writing to me: He then had me lay on my back and gave a testicle exam, had me stand and touch my toes and looked at my rectum. I was fairly uncomfortable at this point, but have heard if you don’t comply with Dr’s requests they may fail you, especially since he told me he failed the...

to me I came across your info on one of the aviation boards and I understand you may provide some consulting services as in AME in complex cases. I’ve sent an initial inquiry to the folks at LeftSeat and kind of got the generic “you’ll need a Special Issuance” etc. That my be true, but...

Yes, the chickens are coming home. I will leave the political issue of the VA doling out such 'as candy' to other discussion venues. Going forward: Report VA disability. If you have not, do so with your AME. Avoid VA assignment of any mental health disability, including ptsd.

I am seeing this airman candidate tomorrow. Not only will it be a HIMS case, it requires coordination with the flight surgeon, the CO of applicants command AND the FAA. I spent 2 hours talking to the 4 parties involved today. It would have been helpful if the applicant had applied for this...
