Aug. 11th, 2014 11:14 amGot my blood test results back from the doctor's office. Two of them aren't relevant to the FAA. The other two, the renal function study and the metabolic series, all place me squarely inside normal parameters. I contacted the Nashua office to make sure I was sending them the right documents.
It's kind of reassuring to hear their regional flight medical officer say that he thinks they ask for too many documents. Especially when you have to go to a notary public in order to get a notarized copy of your driver's license and requests for medical record releases (although that's a HIPAA thing, not an FAA thing). At least I'm not crazy.
Seems like every time I go for more education I run into a medical thing. Kean requested I provide either a measles immunization record or a blood titer showing immunity to measles when I applied for the master's program. Couldn't come up with the record, had to get blood drawn, found out I was no longer immune, had to show up at Kean with a document stating that I'd gotten the jab within the past week.... you'd think I'd be used to this by now.
