A few years ago I read an article by Martha Lunken (Flying! magazine) where she mentioned that it was normal for pilots to have two doctors. One they used for daily care, and one they told the FAA about. The older I get, and the more bumps/bruises/dings I accumulate, the more I think about the logic of what she said.
I'm not trying to say she was advocating that pilots lie to their AME. As she was quick to point out: Don't withhold information or commit fraud on an "official government document," but be very careful about what you "say" on that form.
How many of you maintain two different sets of medical records/doctors? Poll is private.
