Flight medicals are fantastic. Class 2 level is what a Private pilot gets through a designated aviation medical examiner (DAME). Should be the same for drivers >40 or so IMO. . .
A LOT of pilots are medicated for hypertension. I am. Zero symptoms in my case. The medication has had zero side-effects. Although i skate a line between normal and hypertensive I’m pretty grateful and take the medication daily. Weight is imperative. Diet and exercise key. Walking is brilliant.
The risk to reward benefit just isn’t there.
Even if you’re a bit older based on the raw numbers a PSA is more likely to cause harm than do good.
Because? Why will they be different to what they are now?
My Mum died of a Heart Attack age …52, I am 52 this year
Unless you’ve been living under a rock since Feb/March 2020 there’s a pretty obvious one.
I have some friends reasonably close to Dean through EDFL football and they all say he plays pretty hard - at least a pack a day smoker and likes his beer. Apparently a group of them up went to Echuca to watch a horse he/his mates were involved with and they had been partying pretty hard up there - that’s when this all happened…
Interesting stats. From my point of view, there are steps that can be taken before a biopsy, so I would rather go there.
I had two doctors. Doc1 said my rising PSA was due to old age. Doc 2 said bend over.
Then a bone can. Then an MRA. Then a biopsy. Then a PET (I think that was the order). Six weeks later prostate gone and my career as a ■■■■ star fails to get off the ground.
I’m still with Doc2.
Covid can cause inflammation of heart tissue, but I wasn’t aware Wallis had suffered an infection.
He needn’t have for @saladin’s original post (which was referring to middle aged people across the board as opposed to Wallis specifically) to make sense.
The vaccines have been causing younger people to get myocarditis.
I think I’ll be taking my medical advice on vaccines from medical experts, and not from posters on Blitz.
I’ll be taking my medical advice from my 2 cousins that work at the Alfred and Peter Mac cancer centre.
I hope they aren’t working in the cafe. 
Cancers that totally specialised in viruses. ■■■■ can we not rehash 2 year old arguments just cos someone doesn’t want to look stupid after saying something stupid.
No, the myocarditis bit is actually true.
It’s quite rare, but it is a thing.
Nah the quoting doctors with no covid experience thing is the idiocy we saw on the covid threads for 2 years.
And sometimes advice from the wrong person can still be right.
Go and get your booster and then your 4th and 5th shot champ.
