New: Review a dot doctor

Sweet, Now you can avoid that 90 year old, old lady that winks at you when she grabs the nuts and tells you to cough!

 

I reviewed my doctor. Hopefully my review will help prevent future drivers from being forced into an expensive sleep study like I was.

 

Not a great idea, in my opinion. You lucked out and got a doctor that wasn't so thorough or overboard about things (i.e. My second DOT physical)...put it online so that other truckers can go there (and in doing so red flag him/her so they won't be there for long).

This...to me...is along the lines of going on Yelp and other review sites and posting a GREAT review about that hole in the wall restaurant that you like that's easy to get into because no one else (other than townies) know it's there.

 

Note why in the world would you WANT to avoid that? Sure beats the hell out of the 90 year old male doctor that checks your prostate. With BOTH hands on your shoulders!

 

I thought that was Uncle Sam. He seems to vist yearly around Jan to April, the dude never brings the lube. :/

 

What I meant to say is that I gave a negative review of my doctor because she forced me into an expensive sleep study based entirely on my BMI and no other factors. Hopefully my review will prevent other drivers from mistakenly going to see her.

 

What other factors do you need. You cant say no to krispy kreme, and buffets. So its the doctor's fault. For following guidelines and making sure behemoths don't fall asleep since their neck fat closes the airway causing them to wake up throughout the night. Whose your doctor. I want to send her a thank you for protecting the American highways card.

 

LMAO!!!!!!!!!

 

Oh I don't know maybe looking at the questionnaire they had me fill out, and seeing if I actually felt tired during the day, if I woke up multiple times during the night, or if snored at night. Instead I had to pay out of pocket because my insurance didn't cover it, $1400 for a sleep study to prove I didn't have Sleep Apnea.

Now since you decided to be an ### and crap on this thread let me break down my frustration over this in a way that relates more to yourself. Imagine if FMCSA decided that being a azzhat would disqualify you from being a driver. In turn the FMCSA puts out a guideline to DoT doctors that at their discretion they could recommend drivers have to complete a azzhat study to decide if they are one or not (A study you'd fail hands down). Now imagine if a doctor believes its not something they can decide at their discretion, but instead thinks its a hard and fast rule that she based purely upon your forum posts and no other evidence. Imagine your frustration over being assumed guilty and having to prove your innocence in order to drive.
