Popis: INTRODUCTION: It has been proposed that pilots face a perceived barrier to seeking medical care due to what a change in health status might mean to their status as a pilot. While this is often common knowledge to pilots and some physicians, this phenomenon has limited research or characterization in the medical literature. In this commentary, we propose a definition for the barrier pilots face in seeking healthcare in hopes of focusing future research efforts.Hoffman W, Bjerke E, Tvaryanas A.
