Let me tell you a story about "uncertain cause".

I was taken ill a few years ago, and they could not initially find the cause, so they (UK CAA) put it down to pre-syncope, with an OML. I did hold a Class 1 for many years before, so am in a different position to you.

All my Doctors thought this was tosh, but that is what the CAA insisted on. They also omitted to bother looking at a head MRI - which was the FIRST THING the medics asked me to do.

Turns out that this very head MRI shows a brain tumour, which has since doubled in size.

Now the CAA refuse to even look at the MRI - as it proves THEIR 'diagnosis' was wrong. This is what you are up against with these regulators!

It gets worse, however, as when I asked to see my CAA records, about the same time I was in an MRI scanner, being magnetised, my employer got their tame AME (God I hope he is reading this) to phone up the CAA and give them a complete bull-**** reason for me being absent from work, that does not involve having a brain tumour ..............

This is the reality of what you are up against, my friend.

P.S. And yes, this AME is still practising!
