Can I do a second med exam to get rid of the first

YES! You can! There is one caveat though! The 2nd exam MUST show the first one on the long form regardless of the outcome of that first exam. I hate to say it, but you might be stuck until you can get a mental health professional ready to state you are 100% recovered. Sorry, but this is how the process is.

 

Yes those medical exams can be tricky. I was always told to not say you snore even if you do because they want to put a sleep apathy machine in your truck, I hear that costs lots of mullah. You will need doctor to clear before you get back to it. Be honest tell them your dad passed away and you were going through tough times but now you know he with the lord and you know you will see him again one day but not before your time.

 

Easiest thing. Schedule an exam with a shrink. Get his/her sign off. Take it to the original examiner at your job. Issue solved. They'll reissue your med card. I had to do this with my colon cancer from 20 years prior. But it is easy.

 

I got a second med card at a different place when I changed jobs. They never mentioned anything about my first one and the company accepted it without
issue

 

Same here, I never tell them anything. As far as they’re concerned, all I take is ibuprofen on occasion and that’s it. They’re not my primary care doctor, and I haven’t signed a medical release, so it’s none of their business.

 

Technically, that means you are lying, deceiving, and you shouldn't be driving then. And you are also encouraging other people to do the same thing. That's not correct.

 

What you are talking about is not the same as the OPs question. The OP had a problem with the 1st exam. IF this 1st exam found its way into the FMCSA database (and most likely it did), and a 2nd exam all of a sudden pops up in the database, the FMCSA has been known to charge Doctor Shopping and throw the 2nd exam out.
