I was out on the mountain bike yesterday, and a friend of mine took a decent spill, that resulted in a likely concussion.
This got me thinking, from an aviation medical standpoint, at what point are you obligated to report something like this to your AME (and let's add the caveat here that plenty of us go to work with minor colds without reporting them, etc).
If you did report a head injury, what is the FAA's policy on this? I remember hearing a story about a guy who reported a concussion, and then promptly had his medical yanked, and it took over a year to get it back. Any validity to this?
