medical card question

If you pass you passed. Next time be careful where you go. I go to a chiropractor dot that is thorough but fair. You don't want a jerk looking for a reason to fail you and ice ran into a few. Go figure, low paying job, high stress and every year or two leaves you worrying will you pass a dot exam. If you fail what do you do, not pay your bills??

 

There is a chart doctors use, BMI index. Basically when someone gets fat and obese, it triggers a medical push against sleep apnea and you are judged to have it unless proven otherwise. A two month card is a niggardly way of doing business and should be stopped. Let's get you to a proper doctor and get that full 2 year card so you can de-stress and truck on.

Be do careful when you go to many doctors hunting a DOT medical card, it could be constructed as doctor shopping to get that valubale 2 year card and used against you. I have a regular doctor who can issue one without too much trouble provided he did not find anything in a ever growing list of bad things inside the body and mind.

 

LOL, I remember when I jacked buddy of mine got "failed" for BMI (has like 10% bodyfat at best) he ripped that nurse into oblivion told her to get a caliper and measure his BMI correctly or he'd sue and go after her nurses license for being a lying (then about 10 minutes of crap I can't put here). Needless to say after she was in tears and 2 Dr's threatened with lawsuits for falsifying medical documents to feed their kickback scheme he left with a 2yr card. Overkill, but I think these places 100% deserve it.

OP: Take in more salt, it will help raise your BP. Have a friend who is regularly low and thats what she was told.

 

You have a good card be careful with any filing anywhere.
