If not, he's got more serious problems, wouldn't you agree?
Haha, thankfully I was. I consulted AOPA and CAMI prior to my medical appointment for the class 1 and the AME was able to issue it right there in the office (If I remember correctly as it was over 5 years ago now). It definitely pays to be proactive and have all of the information BEFORE you go see your AME. After that whole experience, I've changed my diet, mainly cutting back on sodas, and have been drinking a lot more water. I haven't had any problems since.
