Red face Tough medical standards

Take a look at NZ CAA.s web site and peruse the new medical standards that apply to all aviators doctors. be they designated medical examiners, for class 1 or class 11, parachutists or glider,microlite or anything that levitates away from the planet or descends to the planet.
In a nut shell every doctor in NZ MUST inform CAA if you mention aircraft or any of the for-mentioned devices.
The doctor confidentiality rules have been over ridden by CAA, and can be prosecuted if you say as a patient with an in growing toe nail does not advise the "Medical Unit" of this life threatening ailment.

Herr Goebbels was only practicing in 1933 compared to the new edict in New Zealand's Aviation.
