The question was if you became aware that a doctor wrote in their notes a student was diagnosed with a medical condition would you feel that person is unsafe to fly basic medical. The above poster replied no they didn't feel the student was unsafe, but if another CFI thinks they are unsafe...

I went on a discovery flight when I was 19 late 1980's I asked how to pay for flight school was told by the CFI to wait until I was 40-50 years old when I had the money and time to fly no internet or anyone else to talk to I took his dumb advice. Now that I'm 50 something I can't pass a medical...

I would read though the notes might be surprised what he wrote. I had a Cardiologist write in my notes "52-year-old asthmatic male" because he noted a single prescription an inhaler I got for a bad chest cold 5 years ago in my records from an urgent care visit. I saw the notes when I looked at...

I was reading somewhere even Chiropractors can do basic medial in states that license them as Chiropractic Physicians.

The CFI should evaluate the student based on their piloting skills not medical information some doctor wrote in some notes to pad the bill to the insurance company. Perfectly legal for someone to go basic medical even with those extra diagnoses.

Good example why people should keep their mouth shut not discuss their medical issues with anyone.

That's what I was wondering can't he just let the SI expire and go basic. According to the link from the FAA says below the OP was not diagnosed of any of that. Many people go to the ER after eating spicy food and end up with heart burn think it's a heart attack ER visit finds nothing. Why would...

Is using a general anesthesia and digging out impacted wisdom teeth routine? Every teenager friend I knew got that done at an oral surgeon I guess since many have had it done it's routine.

If your doctor is contracted with your insurance company, they can't charge you for services not covered. I ran in to this wanting blood work for low Vitamin D my insurance won't cover it even though I had a history of low D in the past I take one a day vitamin keeps it in the normal range. The...

Routine is what the applicant thinks it means like lot of those questions on that form. It's like the question regarding admission to a hospital some here say any visit to the ER is admission, others say that is when a doctor signs an order of admission for someone who came in through the ER. I...

Probably has happened doctor's insurance settled out of court and the settlement is kept secret. Malpractice insurance send out a letter to other doctors asking if they are doing basic medical exams if so their rates will go up accordingly. They stop doing basic medical exams to keep rates from...

Did you have wisdom teeth removed? Braces installed all that has to be reported. I would bet no one ever reports that.

It says routine that means cleaning, xray, checkup not fillings, crowns, and root canals.

Where does it say it has to be diagnosed? If your being honest about it you know you had an illness. What about every tooth ache that required a dentist going back to birth?

Ok you go to Mexico and I'll go somewhere else how about that.

Close enough for me that was one example there are lot more in recent months near there. Not a fan of the 3rd world.

https://thecancunsun.com/tourists-robbed-at-gunpoint-on-isla-mujeres-beach-near-cancun/ I know crime happens in the US maybe even more but I can arm myself and I understand the legal system here. Police are not corrupt like Mexico your guilty until proven innocent.

Don't really like Mexico corrupt police and high crime won't be going back there.

I don't have kids but when I was a teen prescriptions were written out in my name handed to my parents to get filled. The bottle of pills had my name on it not my parents. I never heard of someone prescribing medication to parents and not the patient. My question was related to the fact that if...

I thought Cayman Island east side was better than Cozumel it was like diving into a aquarium. Did a shore dive off the west side not much there likely because of all the beach traffic. Cozumel drift dives were fun, but If I had my choice probably not go back to Cozumel.
