And once you do go to their forums. They have a "Medical Matters" forum
in there where Dr. Bruce Chien has helped a lot of people with medical
issues. He is a CFIA-I-MEI-ATP, AME and on AOPA's Board of Aviation
Medical advisers. He answers questions very quickly in the forum and via
private messages.


He did, within minutes of posting. Thanks to all for the suggestion


And, once you get this sorted out, if you would please, sit down with your
instructor and (politely if possible) explain what a moron he/she was for
not making sure you got advice on how to best deal with this
___B_E_F_O_R_E___ you made the appointment with the AME. There are
questions that can really screw you up if you don't word things properly
regarding your history. You have to be honest, but you don't want to write
things down in a way that could be misinterpreted. (And not being a doctor
yourself, are you really sure you are writing the right thing?) Also, you
want may want to have the RIGHT documentation AHEAD of time.




Perhaps if you explain this, his/her next student might not have to go down
the same road.
