Hello! My question will be a little bit off topic under this video but it's related to the oil and drilling industry. Do petroleum engineers have any kind of medical requirements? Working on huge rigs on the sea and other places must pose some minimal threat. One must be medically and mentally prepared to handle a ( god forbid ) emergency. I assume everyone who works in such places must be a great swimmer and must be able to provide first aid. These are only my assumptions, please correct any wrong statement. Now the interesting part. I have a heart condition. It's not that serious but it was enough to kick me out of the aviation and military industry. It's called Long QT Syndrome and it basically makes you have a 1-2% higher chance to develop heart attack. Would this be a problem if I decide to become a petroleum engineer? Thanks for your answer in advance, keep up the amazing content! Cheers
Hi Derek Trust you've been great. Appreciate the work you put into educating folks in the oil and gas space. My name is FARINDE Tosin, a Process Engineer from Nigeria, if it will not be too much to ask, I would love to connect with you on LinkedIn. I already sent you a request. I look forward to hearing from you. Cheers.
