Veterans will be participating in a vigorous outdoor winter sporting event at high altitude.
- Please do not clear any patient that has risk of developing medical complications at altitudes greater than 10,000 feet (please review medical application closely).
- Do not clear a patient weighing more than 220 lbs. that will need to ski sitting down.
- Do not clear anyone over 300 lbs to ski standing.
- Please include with the Medical Application a recent (within one year) EKG strip. It is critical for us to have an EKG strip prior to the clinic to use as a comparison if your veteran should have an issue.
- Completely fill out the front and back of the medical form.
- Don’t forget to check whether you are clearing the veteran, and please remember to sign the form.
