About 10 years ago before I was medically retired from ATC, my Doctor put me on a particular drug. CAA Medical Branch were suprised because this new drug cost £5 a pill and I was on 2 a day.

They said that if my Doctor ever stopped the pills because of cost, they said that they, the CAA, would pay for the pills. B*st*rds. Anything to keep me at work.

I had the last larf though. Eventually I was taking a cocktail of 22 different pills a day. They were forced to retire me at age 51.

Since then, I have never been fitter and felt so good.
