    It's not mandatory but if the doctor doing the test feels because of the bmi and next size she doesn't have to qualify you. She can recommend a sleep study be done before she passes you. I just told her I would get a second opinion. She didn't like that and that's when she started digging in my history.

    I thought the rectal exam was completely unnecessary when I got my physical.

    Companies are requiring this now. The point is, if you are willing to subject yourself to a rectal exam to GET the job, just think what you will do to KEEP the job.... :D :D :D :D :D

    Yeah after 6 hours of kissing different managers ***** they sent to this room with all these hoops in it and told me to jump through them all, after I did that they sent me home and told me to come back tomorrow... What kind of orientation is this anyways?
     
    D.Tibbitt, Mr Ed and Chinatown Thank this.

    They can, they are certifying you to drive. It is something that we all need to fix. The idea of having dot certified docs sounds good but there is a reality involved because of the rarity of those who are not able to drive while being certified to do so.

    The worst part was when the Doc was giving the exam and both his hands were on your shoulders.

    Id say the worst part would be if a toddler caught them.

    enough to make you wantto roll one up! LOL. It is always a head spinner when you cross paths with bi-polar peeps. She's wacked. They lack general knowledge but, go overboard with a specific subject matter ( religion,medical,taxes,etc.) and in short.....you'll see the local preach running for his horse after service. Blow it off and find a quack to replace the wack.
