my GP called me in because one of the markers in my blood had changed.
nothing serious but it had changed.
so he gave me a physical. no problems.
ok it has changed but it is still within normals but the gaps in samples confuse the issue a bit. hmmm, an age related change maybe. you're in bloody good form though, you should have no problems at all with your pilot medical.
do the class 2 with my local DAME.
after a good check over he comments you don't have any problems and signs the form.
the principal medical officer in masturbation manor writes back demanding some information that doesn't exist and requests spirometry to check lung function.
I write back telling him that his request is nonsense.
sends me a longer letter telling me that spirometry is to check peripheral tissue oxygenation.
it doesn't check for that at all.
having driven a spirometry machine during my training I know what it gives.
his request is still nonsense.
just as a sanity check I have put on my pulse oximeter and checked my peripheral oxygenation. it shows full saturation.
Dr Peter Clem I think you are a clown.
I wonder whether your qualifications are as bogus as your predecessors turned out to be.
I continue to fly and I will continue to ignore the fckuwits in CAsA..
