Unclear AME guidance
I can’t believe I’m having to post this on prune to get the help I need.
Im off work with four notified,e health issues.
Told my AME straight away, who was quick enough to pull the medical. Quite rightly, I assume.
Disclosure ticked and documented, all letters sent to the AME.
So, what do I do?
Repeatedly directed to the CAA website, which has every condition known to man on it, and tailored treatment and flows for each one.
i ask again, which ones to follow and am given generic direction back to the CAA website, so I reply saying I’ll just send that to my GP then? Clearly the GP is going to say can you confirm what it is you want us to do?
why, in Gods name, can’t the AME send the correct procedure and flow charts, and say ‘do this’?
Ive wasted months previously making appointments they later say they didn’t need, taking test on kit they don’t accept, and paying time and money going to hospital after hospital for the CAA to reject it, or the wrong words are used in a letter from a medic.
Last time I was off for any length of time I counted visiting about ten different hospitals across the region, for the CAA to still not be happy, until one consultant phoned them up and shouted at them. I know. I was in the room!
It’s an impossible system when your own AME won’t give you direction. Sorry AME’s but most of you are the same, in my experience. Very easy to take a medical away, and then you won’t say how to get it back.
Happens time and time again. ‘Do no harm’. How about mental health of your customers*.
Any help appreciated.
* Well you would not treat a patient like this.
