|  you know it's gonna be a long medical... ... when the first thing the doc does is chide you for not bringing a pen to fill out the application. Then goes on to tell you about the dangers of VFR at night without an instrument rating - right after you tell him you're an airline pilot  Ah well, good for another year I guess. Next time I might head out to PHX

| Re: you know it's gonna be a long medical... When I moved south, I was the first of the group of us to need a medical in the area. I used the postcard method. Walking to the exam room I noticed that the doc had pics of astronauts and with presidents and all that. Flight surgeon. During the medical he was talking about how he made the astronaut short list, and yada, yada.....I told him I was an underachiever.. I got some friggin' NASA astronaut medical. I wanted to tell him just to check my index finger, and make sure my butt had enough fat to take the excruciating exercise of glass airplane airline-style flying. I kept my mouth shut though....

| Re: you know it's gonna be a long medical... There's a guy I like here; his hours just aren't convenient. Hence the FAA AME search. But after today I think those inconvenient hours are just fine!

| Re: you know it's gonna be a long medical... My doctor is awsome. First walk in and he has airplane posters and models EVERYWHERE. In the exam room, airplane posters everywhere, American Rifleman, and Outdoor Life magazines all over the place aswell. The best part.... Doc: Can you hear out of both ears? Me: Yes Doc: Good! Writes some paper work, then sticks his hand out and says good luck up there!
