Deeper issues with Avmed ?
What's interesting is the amount of talk this thread has generated amongst the troops; lots of axes to grind; there are stories (unsubstantiated – of course) that even the 'big end of town' have just about had enough of the Pooshambolic method of aviation medicine and associated paperwork. I hear there is a large increase in the number of liver function test being done because someone went to a birthday party and had a few more ales than the prescribed maximum, or nodded off to sleep during 'My Kitchen Rules'; or is now consulting with diabetes or cardiac specialists. The specialist advice being ignored, the good doctors rolling about the floor laughing while collecting hefty fees.
I hear Arthur Pape and a couple of other 'clever lads' have made appeals for medical sanity; the big question is, will they be heard and can they change anything. If the tales are true, then change is long overdue.
