wyndnfire8 Posted March 13, 2016 Share #5878 Posted March 13, 2016 Look at it this way if you are put on Medical Hold during your screening they are going to want to know why that means your doctor has to give them a reason why they shouldn't. Now that being said if you got pressure problems Sugar problems or heart problems you think your doctor is going to Lie to them and say you dont? When his /her tests may show the same thing? Hello RTOMan I was looking through this for him and came across this old post.... I am currently waiting for the call for medical and I went to my doctor and got a letter from him indicating asthma is stable and my carpal tunnel is resolved by surgery. Do you think that is enough or should the doctor be more specific in the letter like last asthma attack which was many years ago and or when was the surgery which was six years ago or is what I have sufficient? Any input would be greatly appreciated. Just trying to be honest and do the right to avoid getting put on medical hold. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any input would be greatly appreciated. Just trying to be honest and do the right to avoid getting put on medical hold. If nothing comes up on their tests then its under control, i do not think they test for asthma or carpel Tunnel.. Has anyone else who has been through the process been tested for this can chime in?

wyndnfire8 Posted March 18, 2016 Share #5880 Posted March 18, 2016 If nothing comes up on their tests then its under control, i do not think they test for asthma or carpel Tunnel.. Has anyone else who has been through the process been tested for this can chime in? Thank you RTOMan. I'm in excellent health overall...no blood pressure issues, no diabetes, no heart problems etc....But maybe you or someone on here can advise ....I had surgery for carpel tunnel about six years ago and I plan to disclose it but I want to do everything possible to ensure I don't get disqualified or put medical hold and get delayed. I already have a note from my doctor indicating the issue was resolved via surgery but there aren't any details. Do you or anyone on here know if that would be enough ? If not what should the letter be stating exactly, how detailed does it have to be? Should I get a letter also from the surgeon that did the surgery as well? and what type of information should be stated on the letter and/or any other details the dr at MTA might want? Just trying to get it right the first time. Any advise would be greatly appreciated! 0 Quote MultiQuote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dainty2200 Posted March 18, 2016 Share #5881 Posted March 18, 2016 No one can answer all these question than MTA yes it is good you have these information before hand. But for medical you will have to answer a questionnaire about your health. It will ask if you have been hospitalized and when u answer yes the doctors will ask who what where why when. They will even look at the area you had surgery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
