discrimination?

Today I had a physical. During the DOT physical process it was just like any other time, until the real DR came in(or should i say 2). I had 2 previous physicals here no issues and today they got me for the sleep apnea test. After trying to talk to the Dr about it she never told me she was going to down grade to a 1 year and give me time until after the fact. a little upset I had some choice words but I accepted it. She then had another Dr come in and this guy just starts castrating me about prior BP meds that I was taking 2.5 years ago. I told him that I wasn't on any prescriptions for BP and that I was taken off them. He refused to believe me and gave me no option to try and at least get my primary to send over a fax to confirm. So at that point a man is calling me a liar so I told him that I'm done and ill get a second opinion. He gave me my long forum and I did complete the drug test and everything else besides him signing off on my card. It's crazy how you can go from a 2 year to basically nothing so fast.. I feel as if I was discriminated because he didn't believe I was not on medication, not that he has to but he wouldn't even let me try to get anything to show that I wasn't from my Primary DR. how is that even legal? just another day in the life....

 

This is exactly what happens when you go to a DR one time in a few years and he doesn't remember you or anything about you or any provided documentation you last gave him at that time of your last physical with him. I'm a big guy always have been. I was flown out to J&R schugel about 4 years ago and my BP was elevated. So they let me stay if I was to be put on BP meds. Just getting into the industry I accepted this and they let me sit in a hotel for an extra week while the medication ran its course. During this time I was on that and it did take my card down to a one year card. After I left J&R schugel I went back home and talked to my primary about working to get off these medications. She agreed with weight loss, and readings with her and documented at home throughout a years time that we could possibly get off of one or both. In that years time I was able to do exactly what she wanted to that point that she wrote me a note explaining that I do indeed have white coat syndrome and that my BP reading wont be accurate without the right cuff, and If I was nervous. I was removed from all DP medication in 2017.

Now, If I'm a DR I'm not believing any of that either. Although, for him to not give me the time of day to at least prove my point with a fax from my primary isn't wrong? I feel that it is wrong on a few different levels.

 

Basically I'm not going back there and I'm going to have to most likely get downgraded and get the test done through another DR recommendation. that's completely fine. The other part of the not giving me a chance to get a note from my primary to prove I'm not on and was taken off BP is just another entire different issue I feel.
