I agree with Sir George. I'm now retired but I had a couple of quite serious medical episodes during my service as a professional pilot and at no time did I think that the CAA medicos were doing anything other than their very best to get me back in the air. (The then head of the CAA's medical branch was flying with my airline as an F/O and regularly flew with me but I'm sure any pilot would be treated the same.)
