patient marchant avec une canne, long historique des douleurs quasi-invalidantes des deux genoux
pas de Rx
le patient aimera se faire soigner chez nous mais doit rentrer en avion samedia. me demande un certificat de contraindication de vol en avion. pas accordé.
Obviously this patient is asking for some sort of certificate since he has to fly home soon, but I don't know if there is a neat term in English to sum this up, or a commonly used term, even. I haven't found much in my research. TIA.

Simon Mountifield
: I used to be a medivac interpreter, and one of the most frequent questions was "Is the patient fit to fly". You needed a fit to fly certificate for medical clearance from the airlines or confirmation that patient wasn't fit to fly to satisfy the insurers

Thanks! (A "medivac" interpreter, indeed... ;-) )

: I think fit/unfit is the more normal English term - contraindication may be English, but is is certainly an ugly neologism.

B D Finch
: Yes, "contraindication" is more suitable for use about medicines, not activities. The airline would not want details of what might happen if he flew, just to know whether or not he was fit to fly.

: contraindication is a perfectly fine English word and the only suitable term in many contexts - but not this one.

: "Fit to fly" also posesses alliteration, which is a good thing.

medical certificate saying that plane travel is contraindicated
As far as I know, there is no specific term for this in English and it's simply a matter of spelling out what the medical certificate is for. Here the patient wants to stay and be treated where he or she is and avoid the imminent flight home.
Note from asker:
| This sounds good but I think that "unfit to fly" if better than using the word "contraindicated". Thanks for your help! |

Written Medical certificate forbiding air transportation
I do say the patient must not be exposed to normal air transportation conditions.

: That might apply to animals (in which case veterinary, rather than medical), but not to people.

Hello,
I think this might work.
I hope this helps.
