On the other hand I once knew an anaesthetist who took propranolol daily in order to do her job as she suffered from a benign essential tremor (congenital shaky hands). An indication perhaps of the differences between occupational heath regulation in aviation and medicine.

benign essential tremor is not a disqualifying condition, and I’ve given a bunch of certificates to pilots with the problem who are on beta blockers for it...
