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

Anemia means you have to take iron pills. Not dangerous. BTW anemia in
women is NOT considered the major problem it is in men.

"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



Won't work Monblack, I can quote what I learned in Driver's Ed and that
was ... well, more than 30 years ago.

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?

Matt

You think it's a good idea for a student pilot to take his advice?

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

It's
irresponsible to put information out there like that.

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

shouldn't that be caveat lector?

Heh, since you had to be at least 14 years old to take Driver's Ed I say
that puts you well into the 40's :-)

It was the casual reference to Drivers Ed, which people over 30 seldom do
anymore.

Like a kid saying they're 6 1/2 years old. Around 40 you stop inserting half
years into conversation. g

Margy, you don't look a day over 26. A year or two maybe, but not a day.

Yeah, but who's counting :-). I hear 50 is the new 30! I figure the
older I get the cooler my toys get.

This is incorrect. Anemia affects the ability of the cardiovascular
system to maintain oxygenation of organs and tissues; a person with
anemia is dramatically more prone to altitude sickness and hypoxia in
general. Thus, an anemic person may not be able to safely pilot a
plane. In severe cases, an anemic person may place himself at risk
just by riding in a plane (including pressurized cabins, since they
may still have fairly high cabin altitudes).

Just because the FAA doesn't explicitly disqualify a condition doesn't
mean that it's safe to fly with it.

The fact is, he didn't even diagnosis my with depression, he said he
would if the lab results came back normal. First, I'll bet my life they
will show anemia, which should make him happy that he has a diagnosis,
and second, I'm not planning on talking to him ever again, so I have no
way of knowing WHAT he writes in my file.

Nawh, you'll talk to him again... You're a woman and as such are genetically
predisposed to not be able to pass up an opportunity to tell a man that he
is wrong (whether or not that really in the case does not matter)...
