KR> kidney stone

[wcraw...@cmhc-schl.gc.ca]

what's with the kidney stone?  There must be something to size, I just had 
one the day before my medical (Pilot) , hospital for 6 hours, My Pilot 
license medical examiner  wanted to know if I had past it, and I told him 
possibly, apparently the X-Ray and ultra sound show it to be very small 
and I may not know if I past it or not.  he stamped my medical for another 
2 years, good to go.

Don't take them too lightly, depending on your history of passing them.
If you experience stones on a regular basis (God help you) or have one
lodged that could pass at any time,  you will be corresponding with the
fed's on a regular basis.

This is something I can speak to with some experience :-)  My next AME 
medical exam, after my first kidney stone was blown up with lithotripsy 
(sp?), was a non issue.  Just needed a letter from my Urologist that I 
was stone free.  Medical issued during the exam.  The next stone episode 
again required lithotripsy to blow it up.  I contacted my AME before the 
exam and he contacted my Urologist and got copies of a current CT scan, 
etc and the letter stating that I was once again stone free.  He 
contacted Oklahoma City and got authority to issue me a two year medical 
if everything else was OK.  It was OK so he issued the medical but with 
a one year restriction.  I had to prove after one year that I was still 
OK.  That was fine with me.  About three weeks after the medical was 
issued I received a letter from the FAA with a new, un restricted two 
year medical certificate.  Said that after reviewing all of the 
supporting documentation from my AME and Urologist they were issuing the 
unrestricted one and just send them the restricted one in the enclosed 
envelope.

I think several things are important here.  My AME is a SENIOR AME.  
They have a lot more authority to make decisions on their own.  My AME 
is also in my local EAA chapter and goes the extra mile to work with 
problem cases.

Just a story where I was very impressed with my AME and the FAA.  How 
often do you hear that!

Yeh, I have played around with things KR but now my hands are covered 
with metal cuts.

KR> kidney stone

[Kenneth Wiltrout]

My FAA Dr is just the opposite---this guy can't make a decision 
to save his ass. Every year he needs to consult with Oklahoma, in the last 6 
yrs I have never walked out with a medical, its always 1 or 2 wks later. 
Next time I'm going through the yellow pages.

problems yet but I am sure that he is committed to keeping guys flying.
