c'mon we're all family here. (unless its a tmi)
Besides, multiple free incorrect diagnoses and treatments - who could refuse that?
/kidding. Hope it's not serious and more importantly, that it doesn't affect your flying!

Not always a negative. On occasion, I've asked him for suggestions for discussions with my local physicians. For example, I expect to have knee replacement this summer. He's mentioned topics for me to discuss with my physicians concerning the obligatory heavy dose pain killers the surgeons always want to prescribe, with the caveat, of course, that the surgeons are much more aware of the need than he is, hundreds of miles away. But they are valid concerns that I would not have considered but wouldn't even know about without asking him.Seeking out Dr. Bruce’s counsel isn’t a good thing. But thank you.
I had a really good meeting with a flight Doc. Things are not so dire as I had anticipated.Oh, man. Cooter, either I tell you or the FAA does. Your choice.
Just go to the free clinic and use a fake name like the rest of us.....

whew!I had a really good meeting with a flight Doc. Things are not so dire as I had anticipated.
There's a waiver for most anything these days. The trick is to get it AFTER you get your wings. Life ain't fair and the other 2 rules of life, et al.
Sadly, this is true. I had a letter of eligibility that was rescinded a decade later, with no change in my health status. Suddenly I was back to $2k a year for imaging tests to satisfy conditions for an SI. It's as if someone at OKC just decided, that needs an SI and by golly, we're gonna force her to get one.There are. But I’ve learned to stay clear of them as much as possible. If it can be avoided, avoid it. Flight Docs can often interpret the rules favorably or unfavorably and one not-so-good decision can cost you valuable months of flying. The rules also change so what may be waiverable now, may not be in the future or the conditions for the waiver may change. One other thing I wish I’d been told earlier on, is to schedule with the Flight Doc, not the PA.
[QUOTE="azure, post: 2470718, member: 270"]I take it Basic Med is not an option for you? Though it's not a perfect solution, it does work for many of us who would otherwise have to shell out money unnecessarily to satisfy the FAA.
I’m obviously not very good at this.Not for now, I need a First Class.
You mean your friend needs a first class med.
I’m obviously not very good at this.
This reminds me why I don't bother with medical cert anymore. Too much work. Or BFRs either, cause they always ask questions like 'where's your medical cert?'
Just kidding...
