title: The value of screening tests in applicants for professional pilot medical certification.
abstract: Good medicine does not consist in the indiscriminate application of laboratory examinations to a patient, but rather in having so clear a comprehension of the probabilities and possibilities of a case as to know what tests may be expected to give information of value.' (Francis Peabody, 1922)
