I wouldn't ask a dictor how to fly a plane so why ask pilots about a medical condition?
Hmmm, that's a shame...dictors are known to have a wealth of knowledge about flying.
I must say, I have had some concerns about the replies to some medical queries on here, but I reckon, on the whole, the patient (and pilot) experience enriches the forum.
I have to say that when I first posted on this forum there weren't the number of qualified people available to answer questions. The few that could give some of their time might have not come on line for perhaps a week, so the poor worried soul might be left...well, worrying.
I would like to address the issue of laymen piping up about medicine, perhaps tonight I'll pen a reply. ( I know it's already been covered, but not on a dedicated thread.)
