medical question

...AND the tax subsidies. Don't forget about the tax subsidies to GA!

"twenty twenty-five" should be interpreted the same way as "twenty
three" or "twenty nine".
So, for a woman, it means 35, 33, or 39...

No. It means 45.

Hmm ... how come?

Unless her birthday was between August 17 (the date of her
self-proclaiming "in my 20's" post) and today, then she is still in her
20's... I guess it is in the realm of possibility but the odds are
against her...

Please just let me be right on this one!! My wife will tell you I don't
get to be right that often. ;-) Emily, Rachel or whatever her name is
is in her 20's and I was correct in my assessment..

Gotta love Google Group's searches...

I can tell by your posts that you aren't out of your twenties yet. Am I
wrong?

Yes.

And honestly, that "I'm so mature I think I can tell when people are
young" isn't mature, it's just annoying.

Nothing personal, but you did imply you were twenty-something in a
previous
post, found here in Google's archives: http://tinyurl.com/jeyy4


It's possible to have been in your twenties previously, but no longer.

I don't know... she's already lied about her age.... ;-)

how would you know if you have never been diagnosed? (I am not talking

they don't have to; unless she paid the visit cash, the info is known

information, not only between themselves, but also with whatever
information aggregator is willing to pay for it; in turn, anyone willing
to pay lexis-nexis -- or whoever else -- fee, has access to it too.
The funny part is that these info are kept for who knows how long, and
by people who have no obligation to keep it accurate...

Now where it becomes really fun is that a physician doesn't actually need
to have met you in person before contributing to your medical file (I found
out for instance that I was described as a female patient -- which I am
not -- in one of the record of an hospital where spent several months
following an accident -- i.e., it's not as if they didn't have time
to have a look)

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.



Have you had a Lymes test? I don't what part of the country you are in
but you should. Just to rule it out.

Lymes is a disqualifying condition.


Where is THAT written?
My AME said Lymes is a classified as a neurological disease. I guess
disqualifying was the wrong word, but there are MANY hoops you have to
go through to prove there is no neurological damage.

Margy
That makes sense, I guess.
Then again, there are a lot of things that can result in neurological
damage. :-)

Then see a doctor who is. I doubt that she will concur with this
armchair diagnosis of depression. Better yet, find an AME who is also
a psychiatrist, if such exist.

That is actually very bad advice to those pilots who value their medical
certificate. A real pilot knows not to place the responsibilities of
normal healthcare in the hands of the same doctor who signs one's medical

He's giving medical advice now?

What you said cannot be made clear enough to people who do not know. DO
NOT use an AME as your normal doctor. NEVER. EVER.
