Message from Dr. Thomas
November 15, 2022
Although I was hesitant to make this announcement on social media, as it can be fleeting at times, there is no denying that it’s quite effective in reaching everyone.
Beginning next year, I shall be out of town briefly each month to support my wife as she is moving to Phoenix, Arizona for medical and family reasons.
Please be assured that I have no intention of closing ATP Medicine. Words cannot express the utmost gratitude I have for the Alaska aviators and other aviators that see me. Not only have you built a great practice for me, but I have become very good friends with many of you; you have taken/taught me flying above the Arctic Circle, float flying, ski flying, off runway flying, instrument flying, acrobatics, given me great flight instruction, shared meals with me, and offered a laugh or two in my office.
You have been friends, colleagues, instructors, advisors, and been like my family. Therefore, it is my goal to maintain care of this great community, and to reciprocate all you have done for me. I shall endeavor to always be here to help as long as you want me.
Sincere thanks
Bob

Diabetes
I am asked about pilots diagnosed with diabetes mellitus, that is, sugar diabetes. While it is best not to develop diabetes mellitus, to prevent diabetes mellitus, and to treat diabetes mellitus with diet and exercise, the FAA does permit use of some medications. However, this requires a special issuance from the FAA.
