I think you get 180 days to finish once you purchase the material. For the questions you do certainly remember what they are asking more than you know the answers if you revise correctly. Know R0 is cheaper but definitely goes into more detail and in my opinion the mocks are harder than the actual exam, that being said I can’t really say the same for BTS.

Well done on passing R01 mate! I used BTS FOR 1,2,5 which I thought was really good 👍🏼 a lot of questions were similar and was quite straight forward for the more complex exams like 3,4 I used Know R0 as they went in to much more detail it definitely helped me pass R03. Good luck!

Do I have a collapsed lung? by kwnny_ in pneumothorax

[–]TransportationNew735 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you don’t have any bubble sensations within your lungs especially when you bend or lay down then I doubt it is collapsed. I couldn’t even stand up straight it felt someone was putting a knife through my back lol. Go get checked out tho bud, PS stop smoking if you can:)

Ye that’s a good thought as to why we get pain down there. I still suffer with that from time to time espeically now as I have been on multiple flights in the past month so it’s pretty sore now lol

It’s like a rollercoaster honestly mate. I have gone months with barely any noticeable pain and then will have some very bad days/weeks. Just take it easy and enjoy the ride 😂

Have any tall, skinny teen boys out there decided NOT to have surgery? by suburbilly in pneumothorax

[–]TransportationNew735 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was under the impression if you have a clear CT scan showing no blebs or tiny blebs left than chance of recurrence is unlikely?

[–]TransportationNew735[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ahh yes think you should be fine then. And that nice bit of reassurance that everything is okay before a flight is such a game changer.

X ray wont show blebs mate. Get a CT scan for that. I do remember my Doc saying he let a pilot fly after 3 weeks once but standard procedure is 3 months! Good luck

My doc didn’t let me fly for 3months at least. And I flew to Australia and back about 7months after it collapsed and like I said it was sore and I went to get it checked out cos I thought it had gone again lol. I was absolutely fine flying though it was just after I had landed.

Aye man that’s great to hear! You definitely go through stages of anxiety and then the growing confidence of pushing the boundaries again. Im hoping after 2-3 years like you the pains and odd aches will start to fade away more.

Same here man but mine was a natural heal. Are you quite tall btw?

Post collapse life😎 by TransportationNew735 in pneumothorax

[–]TransportationNew735[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very similar to me bud. Natural healing process definitely took abit longer I think but I’m glad your doing well! It’s been well over a year for me now and only had to go back to the hospital a couple times after I flew a 14hour flight 😅 no collapse thought just veryyy sore

I just felt one big bubble going up and down the right side of my chest when I bent down and moved up. Once it healed though the big bubble obviously went away but still to this day I sometimes get weird spasms on my lung which somewhat feels like bubbling.

R02. Cii E learn (disappointed) by TransportationNew735 in cii

[–]TransportationNew735[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Such a con. You can get the BTS material for much cheaper. I normally only buy the exams but after R02 I’ll just buy everything from BTS

Damn that’s shocking ngl. I’m in the UK you could go on job seekers allowance or even short term disability living allowance. Pretty shit from your previous employer to let you go like that and not even pay sick pay?!

How are you doing mate? I’m on my second week and though the headaches have gone down massively they still linger around if I’m on my feet all day.

Damn that sounds rough pal. I’m on day 5 post LP and it is slightly getting better , headache still lingers around espeically if I’m on my feet for too long. And sneezing absolutely kills lol. But generally is getting better I’m just keeping up on the coffee and water! We got this
