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


I don't see how having two doctors rather than one is dangerous
advice, student pilot or otherwise. That appears to be the essence of
his recommendation above.

Matt



I was replying to a post by Mxsm in where he said I should see an AME
about this.


I still don't see how that is dangerous. Not good advice, but hardly
dangerous.

Matt


Maybe not physically dangerous, but certainly dangerous to a flying career.
