To say the least, I was given a very thorough physical by the nurse, and I sweatted it all the way through (And I was in my 20's!). She had me jumping on one foot doing some kind of heart rate test which I don't think is even part of the requirement. Actually, I don't remember actually meeting Dr. Fridell (I'm sure must have), since I was quite tired, stressed, and traumatized from the most thorough flight physical since my DODMERB Flight Physical for ROTC. Hey, I passed and I truly felt that I had earned it! Never again will I allow someone who is not a pilot to hold my career in her or his hands.. At least a private pilot or recreational pilot even..
I can't comment on the Dr Smith info but the Friddell info is way wrong. I suppose things have changed over two decades...
