Anemia will make it dangerous for you to fly. You don't want that.

Amusing? Sure. Dangerous? Hardly.

If I understand properly, some people here are suggesting that one
hide disqualifying conditions from AMEs, which is a lot more dangerous
than anything I've said.

You do not understand properly. Enough said.

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
certificate.


Once again, Mxsm shows that he is clueless. What is he now, 0 out of
100?

Sheesh!


What *I* think is funny is that he writes as if every word out of his
mouth is gospel.

I mean, seriously, how is a sim player qualified to give anyone advice
on their medical? He gave very dangerous information and I can only
hope that no inexperienced student pilot believes his advice.

How is the information he gave dangerous?

You think it's a good idea for a student pilot to take his advice? It's
irresponsible to put information out there like that.

Good idea or no, how is the information he gave "dangerous?"

This is UseNet. Some information is excellent, some is written by computer game
players. Caveat emptor.

HIPPA Laws:

Covers what can and can't be shared and by whom.

yep, I know about that; doesn't prevent you from getting medical
files via information aggregators; business as usual, (Do you
seriously believe that HIPPA protects your privacy?)

Yes I do.

But then I'm married to a Human Resources professional who know more about
it than I. She's got some "great" stories about how she can't ask certain
questions even when an employee is face down on the office floor having had
a stroke.

BWAHAHA!!!! Busted!


( emergency landing in downtown Montreal ends well)

"Nah, happens here, too. I learned in driver's ed about streets getting
oily, but it rained a lot where I learned to drive and I never
experienced it.

First time it rained here, I took a corner too fast and spun out...it
felt like I was driving on a solid sheet of ice. Of course, being used
to driving in snow, it was easy to recover. Scary stuff!"

"...driver's ed..."

Hmm? I'm comfortable calling it "Under 30." Is 26 taken?

Next, we guess weight. g

18 Again! (1988)

Original hit song, sung by George Burns, will play here. :-)
"I wish I was 18 again." (1980)

("Why shouldn't I be a country singer?" he deadpanned. "I'm older than most
countries.")

(From Wikipedia)
Burns continued to work well into his nineties, writing a number of books
and appearing in television and films. One of his last films was 18 Again,
based on a half-novelty, country music based hit single he enjoyed, "I Wish
I Was 18 Again." ("Why shouldn't I be a country singer?" he deadpanned. "I'm
older than most countries.") In this film, he played a self-made millionaire
industrialist who switched bodies with his awkward, artistic,
eighteen-year-old grandson (played by Charlie Schlatter).

Classically, Burns delivered one of his typical droll observations, when he
realizes he and his grandson have switched bodies: "Oh, David, did you get
the short end of this deal!"

well I don't.

I got a few fun stories too; I no longer count the number of
'illegal' questions I got asked during job interviews or during
the course of employment, e.g., age, marital status, nature of my
disability -- I walk on crutches -- prying questions about my
ethnic background -- I have a funny accent and an exotic name -- etc.
Not to mention unsolicited commercial mail that uses information
that either employers or health care providers should have kept
to themselves (you can easily keep track of that by carefully chosen
typos or choice of spelling etc. when you fill out application forms
-- an idea suggested long ago by a professor I had in college)
And that's for the deliberate/willful leaks, don't get me started
with how reckless administrations and corporations are with your
private data...

In other words, no, HIPPA does not give me the same warm and fuzzy
feeling as it does to you... but hey, may be is it just me.

Well, that was certainly depressing ...despite the word "anti" being bandied
about. g

Crazy Baby
By: Joan Osborn

And they look at you like they don't speak your language
And you're living at the bottom of a well
And you've swallowed all the awful bloody secrets
But you can't tell...

Oh, you know you ought to get yourself together
But you cannot bear to walk outside your door
No, you cannot bear to look into the mirror
Anymore...

Oh, my crazy baby
Try to hold on tight
Oh, my crazy baby
Don't put out the light...
The light, the light, the light

And your hands are really shakin' somethin' awful
As your worries climb around inside your clothes
Oh, how long will you be sittin' in the darkness
Heaven knows...

Will play he
