If you have to answer yes to any of the questions on the Medical Statment you have two options.
1 lie about a yes answer and say no.
2 Get the Doctors Statement filled out by a doctor saying you are fit to dive.
I have done both, that has been my personal choice. I have the doctors statment and usually use it.
Lying on a medical form is not a "personal" choice. It's a choice in which you have involved your buddy, your instructor, your DM, the boat crew, other divers, the shop owner, the boat/resort owner, etc. All without their knowledge or permission. At the risk of being melodramatic, I've even seen such "personal" choices end up involving Coast Guard boats, helicopters, hospitals, coroners, grieving spouses, and fatherless children.
