medically cleared question

[kennedy]

Well - I got a firm answer on being cleared with type 1 diabetes in Australia - from a SPUMS doctor - who is also on the board of directors...............no way.

I am very sad and disappointed - though he did say there are continued arguments for type 1 diabetics to be able to "cleared". Of course he ended the email with saying - there was no way he'd put his name on that certificate at this time due to the ongoing clearance issues in the area.

Guess I'll just have to keep reading about diving in the area until things are worked out.
Thank you all for your thoughts - thanks Doc for the extra help too!!!

Hey Kennedy,

That is very, very disappointing news. You did the right thing and ended up getting what many would consider a bum deal. But, as you indicate, the medical referees are under much heat up in QLD these days.

I admire how well you appear to be taking it--I'd be howling.

Thanks for keeping us posted and best of luck.

Regards,

Doc
