I posted this over on studentpilot.net as well and figured I'd try those of you here as well. Here's my dilema:
I got the "official" notification today that I got DQ'd and I'm searching for some solution. Here's my situation:
I had some flight surgeon nix me because of IBS (i've posted here earlier if this sounds familiar, stick with me though....) which was opined by a general practicioner based on his best guess (long story involving kayaking, the Rio Grande, bad water and some nasty, prolonged infectious diahrea), I went to a Gastro-specialists who reported that I DID NOT have IBS and I submitted the paperwork yet the SG still is taking the diagnosis of the non-specialist over the specialist. When I called the SG office to get a better explination the guy brushed me off, said sorry, told me there wasn't a way to get a more detailed reason why from a flight phys. (too busy, hey, i understand that) and hung up. No way! I can't let this rest, especially letting my grossly competitive scores (96 pilot, 90 pcsm) go by the wayside.
If ANYBODY has dealt with a similar situation with the SG or knows of ANYBODY who has or who might have some inside info or knowledge please, PLEASE let me know. I'm even considering writing my congressman if i feel like I've run out of options. That may seem extreme, but I may just consider it if I can stir the pot a little. I don't want to be a pain in the ass, but I've been getting jerked around enough by the process that I'm not giving up now.
Thanks.
