You are not understanding what the FMCSA considers "doctor shopping". If you for some reason don't think a ME is right with something on a physical you have the right to a 2nd opinion. It does not become "doctor shopping" if you are careful to make sure that 2nd ME knows about the first physical. If the FMCSA were to happen to see that you have 2 physicals done close together esp if that 1st one was a short one they will look at both. If they see "doctor shopping" they will toss all your physicals. Once the state gets word of this tossed physical you will have so long to get another. DO NOT "doctor shop". The FMCSA will not just toss a physical willy nilly. Just be truthful when getting a physical and you will have no problems.
