I'm not certain employers are allowed to question prospective employees about their medical history beyond that which is necessary for them to perform their jobs. If the job requires a Class II medical and you have one in your possession, that's all you need. If the job requires a Class II medical, and that you load heavy items into the plane, they can ask you if you are capable of lifting such items. They can't ask you "what you did to get so strong?"
Stated on his medical "Not valid for any class after XX-XX-XXXX date." Those few words all but say "This guy has a problem and this is a Special Issuance Medical". Plus he must carry an additional letter spelling out exactly what the medical problem is and what tests are required to be completed prior to his next physical.
I'm not sure he'll ever get a clean 1C medical.
