    Be careful with this. IF that medical examiner made any kind of entry into the examiner database and then another examiner also puts something in the FMCSA might review it. You can be charged with doctor shopping and disqualified if your long forms have differing information provided by you. This new rule about the database has some quarks drivers don't fully understand.

    Sorry to say but you need to ask the company if you can go to another doctor. They can reject a physical and have you do theirs any time.

    This is correct. But you are allowed to see another doctor and get a second opinion. You have to give the same info there. For more on this:
