Yes I've thought that. But I it went all the way to Ottawa and then a Major, who's name I forget, was the Dr. who reviewed and rejected it. I wasn't sure how to get a hold of him directly. Or if that was possible even.

I agree Occam, I am getting somewhat annoyed with this foolishness. You are correct, ECG#1 was the first I've ever had in my life. ECG#2 was the second I've ever had. I explained my situation to my fam. doctor and he understands and realizes a more definitive answer is desired. He was on the...

Occam, I'll try to be a little more clear, I know it's sort of confusing to read... ECG #1 Was sent to RMO as part of the Aircrew Medical requirements. RMO wrote back saying I was unfit for service because the ECG said I was borderline Long QT. When I received these results, I went to follow up...

I have a quick question for someone that might be in the know. I had my ECG repeated, and it came out fine. No warnings of borderline QT on it like the first one. My fam. doc. looked at it again and said that's what he expected and thought I was fine. There is still a frustrating part though...

*Quick note. Just got back from the recruiters. The Sgt. there said it was no problem to bring back my updated medical info. He said a medic was even going to be there the end of the month that I could talk with if I wanted. But he said it was no problem to get the info sent to the medical...

Just another quick update. I just got back from my ECG appointment. The ECG tech asked why I was having the test done, so I explained to her the situation. She told me that the machine they use has a tenancy to read the QT intervals high. She said probably 4 out of 10 people she sees read a...

OK, just an update for anyone who might be interested and/or in the same situation. I'm having another ECG done in two days, and my family doc said if there's still a problem we will go from there. My blood pressure was 120/80 and he said S1 and S2 are OK and no murmurs. So hopefully the ECG...

I totally understand the rationale behind it, and I can't say I disagree, it's just a bit of a punch in the stomach. Just sort of makes a fella feel a little lost. Thanks, for the comments though guys.

This information was part of a ECG that was done about 6 weeks ago as part of the aircrew medical. It was done at my local hospital and my doc filled out the medical form and indicated no issues. The medical officer in Ottawa says it's an issue though I guess. Also, I assume common enrollment...

Well I got the so-called " Letter of Doom" today. It states I do not meet the common enrollment medical standards for the reg. and res. forces. It says my QT interval is too long. This is pretty deflating news and to be honest a little frustrating. I was in the Navy Reserve for 2 years. I do a...
