I think the medical application does ask about conditions like that, so if
other factors created the condition on the day of visiting the doctor, I'd
get him to acknowledge that, and retest.

I've been running a 102 degree fever for the past two weeks and have been
so tired I can barely get to work. Finally made a doctor's appointment
(with a new doctor) today, but wasn't planning on getting in the same day
and had taken Tylenol for the fever...so no fever when I showed up.

Long story short, he ordered some blood work, but told me he thinks that I
am depressed, since I have fatigue with no fever. He said that if the
blood work comes back normal, he's writing it up as depression.

Obviously he's an idiot, since 1) fatigue has so many other causes and 2)
I don't have depression, never have. This is just a bogus diagnosis.

My concern is, if he writes this up in my medical records, do I have to
report it to the FAA? I'm really terrified of this.
