That comment makes you a tool.

Why? Where do you get your hair done? Seemed spot on from what I've seen recently!

 

[Fedora]

It seems to me you should be calling your AME rather tham asking this question on FI.

It's probably too late to influence your decision, but it really depends on how you feel. You know your body. I've postponed medicals for illness before and taken them with colds before. You have undoubtedly had a medical before you you know what is tested. If you think you can pass, take it, otherwise cancel it.

No, that was just a laughing matter of fact. If I were to have said; "If you keep your girl out of my yard, I'll keep my yard out of your girl", that would have made me a tool. Your girl would have probably snuck over anyhow

My controls, I've got the radios, shut up beotch!

 

[SuperFLUF]

Same thing happened to me 6 months ago. Had the flu and called my AME. He said its not a problem and to come on in.

I have my medical scheduled for tomorrow and I have a pretty bad cold.

You're concerned about going to see the doctor, when you are ill?

Are you concerned about taking your car to the mechanic when there's a problem with the transmission?

Do you worry about talking to an accountant at tax time?

Would you not want to talk to an architect when you're builidng your dream home?

Why on earth, then, would you be concerned about seeing the doctor who serves as your aviation medical examiner, when you're sick? Seems like a golden opportunity to get well.

As for those of you who talk like you're fourteen years old, grow up, for pete's sake. You may not be old enough to shave yet, but you certainly needn't act like it.

He's not concerned about going to the doctor to get well, but more concerned about passing his medical with a cold. I think its common sense that people who are sick would love to get the proper meds to get well, and Im sure the original poster already thought of that.

I've always been told to not use your AME as your family doctor. The guy asked a legit question on this board. You don't go the AME so that you can get well. You go to the AME so you can get a medical. Period. If you can't get a medical because you are too sick (even though probably not the case with a cold), then he is not going to just send you back home. Once you apply for the medical, he must approve it or notify the FAA.

I really don't see a big deal visiting the AME with a cold. Jusr mention it to him if he brings anything up. If there isnt any congestion he may not even notice that you're a little sick.
