I've only had one medical done by another AME (because I also needed an initial FAA medical at the time); the FAA cert correctly shows both eye and hair colour so I think it unlikely that the second AME entered the new, incorrect data on the CAA system. Very odd. I'm off to my GP on Monday to get a look at what they hold, just in case.
Did you head home and double check your eye colour?
The NHS is a mess. I thought we spend 15billion on a computer system to ensure this stuff didn't happen!
After this debacle, I would now recommend that everyone regularly check their records.
As for me, my next step is that I am speaking to a solicitor as I don't trust the GP to ensure that there are no markers with other public bodies based on this guys medical notes.
I will keep all updated, and anymore stories like this would be great to hear. I'm interested to know how common this is.
