CFA emergency deferral (medical grounds)

Has anyone ever (successfully) gone through the process of obtaining emergency deferral for a CFA exam on medical grounds? I would appreciate anecdotal information about how the process went. Was a medical report by a doctor sufficient for the free emergency deferral to be granted?
