    I survived the DOT physical today, but boy did I feel like I was in there for committing a crime. Probably just my thinking, but I felt like I was compelled to fib on my current health situation while I have nothing to fib about since I am very active and healthy.

    It took about about 40 minutes from start to end minus the paperwork. It was one room to the next for different steps. I think this doctor gave me an extended physical.

    On a serious note here, what consists of an extended DOT physical?

    Nothing! I just think this doctor took his job very seriously and went over each step in a very detailed manner. I dont mind knowing I am healthy. This is just from what I heard from others. Maybe all DOT physicals are this detailed.
