I cant rember the name but ive asked to see the results so ill let you know when I do.

I'm going to see a different company Dr on Monday so fingers crossed this one has some common sense.

He also has a problem with the GP giving me zopoclone even though the old company Dr said it was ok as long as it was 12 hours before work so he grounded me for that as well.

In our SEP Manual it says they are ok for cabin crew just again not 12 hours before work.

Im going to call the CAA to double check on Monday.

I'm not the first person to question this Dr a lot of CC are unhappy with the help or lack of it they have received.
Had the results on his desk for 2 weeks and forgot about them until my manager chased it up.
I've been back at work 2 weeks now grounded again

On the bright side I have the Alan Carr book to read how to control your Alcohol witch I was told to read before I stopped, because you get no withdrawal systems from stopping heavy drinking it all in your head and its in the book.
Didn't take his advice on that saw a GP and had a medical detox in rehab.
Sorry to go on but im so angry!

Oh dear, poor advice. Stopping suddenly can, and often is, a killer.

Of course, 2 dry days a week in Manchester, can be difficult... Drinkers should have two 'dry' days a week, say MPs - Telegraph

More bo**ocks from well intentioned health facists.

LFT

Dear all,

for the first time in my life, following some routine tests, they've found my transaminases too high. I've gone through all kind of exams (blood work, epatitis markers, US, MR, etc) and they all came back normal (I'm not a drinker either). Does any of you have any idea on what are the JAA class 1 limits for SGPT SGOT?

Thanks

No

But if you have no symptoms and all other tests are normal you have no diagnosis, no pathology, merely a rogue test so although you have to declare it shouldnt matter as you are not ill and present no risk of incapacitation

I wish people ie doctors would stop wasting money and frightening people by doing silly tests.
