    I have a mechanical aortic valve and am on blood thinners. I don’t have to do anything special for my physical. I only get a one year card though.

    You don't have to have a letter from your Cardoligists?

    I would delete this post and not tell anyone about it and go get a physical and go to work. The eld lovers will say otherwise, just ignore them.

    You might want to get a second look at it without saying anything to the new doctor, just to see if you get the same results, if you do start asking many questions of what you should expect and what happens when it is time for it to fail.

    Why did you even mention it to the DOT doc? I would have just gone in and had the physical without planting the seed.

    Unless the doctor hears it, there is absolutely no reason to mention it.

    Youre very lucky. Wait till you get a different doc and then you will wish you would have kept quiet.
