OK, but how 'bout if I feel good, my doctor says I'm good, my other doctor says I'm good, and I'm flying alone, is that so bad?
My medical was denied after three doctors said I was fine; The best explanation I had was that all but two of the doctors on staff at OK City were in Iraq, moonlighting, and two at OK City were turning most stuff down to keep their desks clear. That was a year ago, and I STILL HAVE ZERO SYMPTOMS, AND ZERO MEDICAL.

If you take the physical and are denied it will be rather difficult to say you "have no know condition". On the other hand, to fly with a disabling condition would be foolish and I would hope that no one would fly passangers and keep that information from them. Flying solo, you expose yourself and perhaps others on the ground. Flying with another pilot should be no big deal. Flying with some poor slob that can't save themself if you conk out would be "immoral" at best.
