BMIs..??

On one Cl 2 medical, I noted the Doc put my height down for my weight, and weight for height. I made no comment to see if I later got any query about how can a globular midget could even reach the pedals, let alone get into the aeroplane.
Filed without comment. Was a lot younger then so prob not seen as a cardic risk !!
I think that was the same Doc with the opening comment "you look well !", he was gone with the urine sample for about 2.5 seconds, sugar ok and the whole "medical" was done and dusted in about 5 minutes.
Never mind ..just a PPL so why should one get value for money.
Now of course you can do it with a Drivers Licence med and ops restrictions.
Safer, of course..
