I was due to start training with NATS last year until my medical where i was identified as having the Brugada syndrome (Sudden Adult Death Syndrome) from my ECG, i had a medical with NATS who then refered me to the CAA,
The CAA couldnt grant a licence as there isnt enough understanding of this and with a risk of 'semi-incapacity' or 'total incapacity' they said they had to play it safe ad not give me a medical cert.
Now since then Ive had an Implantable Cardioverter defibrillator fitted which i guss removes the chance of total incapacity as I'll almost certainly come round if my heart went into VF thanks to the ICD.
Do I have any chance of getting a medical to allow me to perform ATC duties with NATS, I just want to exhaust every possible avenue to get into NATS as Im pretty fed up with Engineering.
Any input at all would be great.
Thanks
