    Yes, lots of people lie on their medical applications, particularly those who use or have used "recreational" drugs or smoked dope. I've known more than a few of them. I have no idea how many are caught, but certainly a few have been. Read here:

    I know of someone who dropped dead of a heart attack leaving the doctors office after passing an EKG.

    Yes, and I know of an airline pilot that had his heart attack on the way to his car from his physical; what's your point.

    And it's "their" not "there".

    Yes, I knew one who is now dead as a consequence of it, and took two people with him. Covered up his history of epilepsy. He apparently had a seizure in cloud at night, probably induced by the flashing strobes and beacon reflecting off the clouds and precipitation. .

    Yes, I know one person who lied for her medical -

    My girlfriend - Holly C. Douglas (Iler) - Iler was her married name -

    She was my girlfriend in 1976-1977 -

    She was addict to narcotics - later lost her FAA license -

    Was helicopter pilot for KNBC-TV channel 4 in Los Angeles -

    She flew the helicopter in which U-2 pilot Gary Powers got killed a year later -

    Gary Powers replaced her as helicopter pilot after she got fired for drug use -

    Holly and I lived together about a year in Santa Monica -

    When I realized she was a user, I separated from her -

    I was an airline pilot, feared being involved with a user in the place I lived -

    Her personal life went "downhill" after all that...

    We stayed in touch, but later she got married and got a son -

    Last time I saw her was with her little boy - she had separated from husband -

    She lost her life killed in an alley in Phoenix, AZ - trying to get some drugs -

    Her murderer is still in jail in Arizona, attempting to avoid death (sentenced) -

    Read the story of her murder - in 1993 -

    http://articles.latimes.com/1993-09-29/news/mn-403...

    The murder details - and the murderer -

    http://www.murderpedia.org/male.P/p/pandeli-darrel...

    She was no longer my girlfriend, but to die like she did - I hate all drug people -

    Traffickers and users - including cannabis (she started with weed probably) -

    She was rich (family trust fund) for being sole heiress to the Douglas fortune -

    Our separation 1977 is reason of my being anti-drug (including cannabis) -

    Drugs starts with a letter D - so does Death - You will die one way or another -

    Look at the drug traffic and violence in Mexico -

    @Ben Dere Don Dat

    Hahahaha, you are obviously not one of those people who has done drugs and lied about it since you would know if you were even remotely close to a drug scene that dope is NOT marijuana but heroin, and you can't smoke heroin.

    People who call marijuana dope are typically older white people. If you say "dope" on the street it means heroin. So don't go asking for some dope when you're feeling down because that's how you get arrested or, worse, addicted.

    Sorry, this is totally off topic but I felt like I needed to say something when I saw this lol
