Hi all,

When I went for my initial class one the computer came up with a response that my heart rate was too fast and that there was a problem (sinus tachycardia IIRC), and marked this onto the ECG printout.

The doctor there simply looked at it and knew that it was becuase someone had just whacked twelve sensors all over me, and dismissed it instantly.

Is it different for a doctor 'out in the sticks' to one based at Gatwick? Would a regular AME have had to refer it no matter what his opinion?
