It seems from a few cases I have seen first hand that what has happened is that if your child was coughing / wheezing a bit and you took him/her to the Docs, they would immediately try Ventalin. Unfortunately, if that didn't work, the doc said "Oh well, not asthma then, lets try something else" but your records now show up that you have been prescribed Ventalin that the RAF will see as a diagnosis of Asthma. They cannot seem to get their heads out of their ar$es and see that they are losing some very good potential candidates for the sake of a misdiagosis. In my experience, I have never een the decision reversed.
