If this settles anyone's anxiety about their medical clearance status, I was sent home from the 11/18/08 PEPC in Kansas City with a form to get filled out by a board certified ophthalmologist (eye surgeon) back home. I didn't get the appointment in until 12/01/08 and had the forms both faxed and overnighted on 12/02/08. I received a letter via snail mail from the Central Region Flight Surgeon's Office dated 12/08/08 that said I had received medical under special consideration. I called this morning, on 12/16/08, to verify that I am completely medically cleared (vital signs, EKG, physical, hearing, vision, MMPI, drug test, etc).
Sooo... what I'm getting at is this - for anyone that was not sent home to do additional medical testing and was completely squared away medically at the PEPC, you all probably have processed medical clearances and just don't realize it.
Hope this settles some worries and makes the waiting game slightly easier.
