"Andrew Sarangan"
pilot etc.. etc..got me thinking. What is the reasoning behind
requiring a medical for pilots?

If you're talking about third class medical, it does bring up some
interesting questions. Excluding passengers, I would think your chances of
killing others while having a heart attack in your car are much higher than
in an aircraft. If I may coin a phrase, "The big ground theory" seems to
make flying the safer alternative for a cardiac patient.
