    My uncle's on the one-year for BP meds. No matter what he tests out, he's stuck on a one-year because of it.

    As for Prime Rib, that BMI rule is for whether a driver would be required to do a sleep study in order to pass a medical. Not whether they'd be ruled ineligible for driving just because of BMI.

    Does anyone know if DOT physicals are being sent electronically to the DMV now?

    I don't know doctors The Prescription for scheduled one through 6 or so. DEA the repurchases to keep the entire rolls in near time.

    3 to 6 days post operative pain is a standard but generally these medicines are cut off once they hae a epxiry date.

    Go to another doctor and do not list that prescription.

    As of 4 months ago, I still had to send mine in myself. The examiner said she did not file them.

    I'm not sure of the particulars, but there is a system in place to prevent doctor shopping.

    you are allowed to get a 2nd and even a 3rd opinion. You are not allowed to lie to the 2nd or 3rd doctor.OOIDA has a lot of good info on the new rules. Good luck
