Too a point - but still - you are talking to someone that really didn't even want to stay in a medical hospital.. Because it was not near as private as my house, and besides, once the IV tube was in my vein, it's screw in fittings - I don't need any help - and in fact, 4 years later, I still say, I would have rather taken care of it myself at home, without being watched like a hulk..

Also if getting treat MIGHT mean being scrutinized any closer later for any reason, when attempting to do anything, not interested....

As stated before, if even buying a gun, they would see anything after getting they treatment, that wouldn't be there if you ignored it - then I will opt to ignore....

Note - not looking to get a pilots licenses right now - but because the FAA dose not like it - I am looking for a way to remove vertigo from my record to, and had I known that then, I would have clammed up about being dizzy and vomiting....I might be o.k. with changing that to something like "occasional dizziness" because that I can tell, something like that won't stop you from doing anything - but vertigo can, and dose - not because it litteral prevents you from doing it physically, but because others panic.
