If you have your own physical and it finds something, you're obligated to
report it on the FAA medical application
form.


This is a classic case of unintended consequences from a perfectly
reasonable-sounding governmental regulation. The requirement for medical
certification may actually make pilots, especially Commercial pilots, LESS
healthy because any visit to their private physician has the potential to ground
them and forever remove their livelihood. It is hard to think of any other
group of workers with that type of potential bombshell hanging over their head.
