Line Up and Wait
A close friend has been on a SI medical for a couple years now due to a minor affib issue...controlled by drugs. During the initial arm-wrestling with the FAA, Dr. Ray Steinhauser (theOhioAME.com), and a cardiologist at University Hospitals Cleveland were invaluable in getting the original SI in about 3 weeks from becoming aware of the issue. Those in the know understand that's a remarkable turn-around.
Fast-forward to last month... the SI requires a yearly Holter monitor, which detected some minor ventricular tachycardia. Med changes, a few days for them to take effect, a second Holter monitor, and an echo-cardiogram, all concerted and tailored by Dr Steinhauser to advice he was getting directly from the FAA folks, and another professional pilot is back in the air (yes, run-on sentence, English majors .
We highly recommend Doc, as he actually cares about his pilots, and knows that for many of them, losing a medical is a life-changing experience.
Cool side note....he has an awesome sim in one of his offices. I actually got signed off for my complex/high performance a few years back using it. (Caveat....I had about 100 hours of 'dual' in our 182RG previously).
There certain are a lot of good people in this world!
