From a public service perspective, Clinton, I believe you might be askew in your conclusion that you somehow “won”. I think the AVMED Doctors won. Remember Roosevelt’s famous instructions to his supporters asking him to do something he was already in favor off? “Make me”.
What you have done is given an AVMED Doctor an ironclad, gold plated piece of paper- an incontrovertible specialists report, that provides him absolute career protection to his act of giving you your certificate. It now doesn’t matter to HIM if you have an accident, he did everything in his power to deny you, but you finally trumped him.
This is not to criticize you; well done, but until we work out how to prevent AVMED operating in this arse covering mode all the time, the embuggerance will continue.
