Anyone out there with an extensive and I mean pretty extensive combination of flying (pressurized, specifically) and medical knowledge?
I need to quiz someone on a heath issue and and the effect flying may or may not having on it once’s I’m cleared. Specifically as a passenger on a commercial air carrier.
Thanks
Jim
Try a Google search such as this one.
Sorry… it’s not psychological… and it a bit beyond webmd and google. It specifically has to do with pressurization and a post surgical thorocostomy.
Now that I know the specifics, try these:
pilotfriend.com/aeromed/medi … thorax.htm
professionalsoldiers.com/for … p?p=275326
There’s more - just enter the keywords *post surgical thoracotomy flying *into Google.
See PM Jim…
Might want to try PMing MeekRN
That’s just not right 
What me? Come on, he’s a fun guy! Kinda like HongKongCargo and all the voices in that kids head.
Appears to me he is saying it in jest 
That it’s “not right” that you would even think of such a wild and crazy thought, not that you are wrong.
Thanks for all the “advice…”
Saw my surgeon today and was signed off on as to all aspects of travel. FWIW… I drove myself to the ER on 7/27 with a fully collapsed left lung. Two weeks, four chest tubes and one surgery later, I’m back in one piece (minus a chunk of said lung…)
Very cool Jim, thanks for confirming…
Welcome back to the “airways”
Wow, Bear Grylls has nothing on you!
True… and I don’t have a camera crew following me either… lol
