Medical form worksheet

I'm looking for a paper FAA medical form worksheet I can print out,
add notes to, and take with me to the medical for filling out the real
form.

If you mean Form 8500-8, AOPA appears to have a scanned-in version in
PDF format he

That's the same one I was trying to send you.. despite have a sample
watermark, it is blank and should serve your purposes.

Good luck with your medical... maybe someday cut-backs will eliminate
Class 3 medicals.

(Yeah, right. :- )

That's about a year and a half away.

The issue is at my last medical, the blood pressure was close to, but below
the magic number.

After that I went to the regular doctor, got perscribed an FAA approved
ACE inhibitor to make sure I didn't stroke out, lost 40 pounds, eliminated
a big source of stress (which is a story in itself) and am now down to
marginally high.

By the time the medical comes around, I expect I will have been off the
drugs for a year, have lost another 25 pounds, and be well into the
"normal" range.

The issue is that I will have to document all this crap on the form and
I don't want to do it from memory.

It's a lot of fun to go into a medical (any medical exam, really) with a
change like that behind you. Enjoy. And congrats.

Yeah... you don't want to give the bored bureaucrats the smell of red meat.

I'm sure you know that you should walk into the medical with a
"Hypertension Follow-Up Report" from your treating doctor.

Basically, a signed letter from the Doctor listing all the meds, dosages,
side effects, complications related to hypertension.. AND three blood
pressure readings. The three readings are the big deal.

Don't drink any coffee that day and shoot 10 mg. of Valium directly into
your veins before taking the readings. ;- )

Hey, kudos on the weight loss... 40 pounds could get you a guest appearance
on The Oprah Winfrey Show.
