Come on let's face it, the purpose of the aviation medical is to try and predict the risk of pilots dropping dead in the cockpit.
If anyone can provide any evidence that it works, then I shall show my bottom in the Vatican.
At best, the medical definately rules in, and rules out those at the periphery, those in the middle are left to guess work.
The health checks offered to Rail staff are probably more reliable and valid.
ps. resting ecg's are probably a little better than worthless. A little like trying to predict the weather in August, by using today's air pressure.
Sorry to be so cynical, but having worked in the system for many years, it's obvious that the interventios that actually improves health are limited in number.
Immunisations, clean water and statin's probably help.
Sceening tests are very limited, they may predict the risk of someone becoming ill, but they don't usually tell us which ones will become ill.
The rest is in our own hands
AMEandPPL, is that you A?
