Medicals

What I find slightly annoying is that as I work offshore I am required to have more or less the same medical in fact it would be slightly more intense than the flying medical and they can not be interchanged. Ok the company pays for the offshore one but it would appear that the medical profession are akin to the legal profession in this instance in ensuring the cash keeps coming in although I cannot complain about my AME when I read about some of the charges.
It would be nice if the offshore industry would say that the flying medical covers it or vice versa then that would one less expense but since when did logic ever interfere with bureaucracy.
