Everything above is true. The doctors are absolutely your enemy when it comes to this stuff. Tell them NOTHING! It almost seems they're looking for a reason to ground you as if they have an internal competition for that... Or who can give out the most referrals in a month or some crap like that... For the most insignificant issue
One of the problems for the doctors is that they're not allowed to sign people SKF over a certain threshold of days/year. So a doctor has no choice but to find "something" to ground you if they sense that you're not fit to fly. And a lot of pilots are very fatigued, though some might not want to admit it. It's all internal politics between Fleet and EG Medical with the doctors and pilots being the pawns in between... Most doctors hired within the last five years resigned within a year of hiring. The number of AME's within EK as not increased over the last eight years or so while the numbers of pilots has doubled...
