Heart attack, drivers license, BC

A guy I used to talk with often had a small one and ignored it which proved to be a fatal mistake 6 months later... about 6 or 7 years ago he was descending into merrit and quickly stopped his truck opened the door to flag down help but he fell dead onto the pavement .. GET proper advice even if it takes awhile to find it from the medical community

 

Eve I can’t remember his last name

 

You do, in fact, have both a legal and moral obligation to inform the appropriate regulatory bodies if you are not fit for driving.

@Snoopycda is correct and you would have zero grounds for a suit. How ever much insurance you have paid for in the past is irrelevant.

 

In Alberta, when a class 1 driver reaches the ripe old age of 45, they must have a medical and license renewal done every two years. At 65, it must be done every year.
I have been an LCV driver since 1990 so I have had to get them done every two years regardless of age.

I have had two drivers die of heart attack sitting in their seat behind the wheel. I am sure they felt fine also, or they would not have come to work that day. Luckily one was able to pull over and the other was on a lunch break or it could have been a bad day for other people too.

 

I had a hip replacement June. While in recovery I was in a LOT of pain, sciatica was crazy and med they gave me didn't seem to touch it and I just did the guy thing and sucked it up.
2 hrs later while still coming out of anastasia, I felt weird and passed out. Woke up with the nurse doing chest compressions.
Instead of ortho unit I end up in cardiac unit. I Braded down to 30, which is a faint or passed out, but I kept going to asistolie, or flat line. They did blood every 8 hrs, full EKG every 12 HRS, heart untrasound Tuesday Wednesday, Thursday and friday, and send me for die and camera into the heart test Friday am. (Forget what it's called)
Found nothing. I didn't have a heart attack, no blockages what so ever. Iso after 5 days in the cardiac floor they said i had a VASO VEGAL (spelling?) Episode which is basically, I fainted or passed out due to the stresses my system was under, pain etc.
For most you go down to 30bpm and then recover. Some people do it at the sight of a needle or blood. Ive never passed out, unless self inflicted in my younger party days..... I went flat line. Apparently it's rare.
Had follow ups with cardiac guy and heart is fine, I was told not to drive for 8 weeks and not to work for 3 months from the hip surgeon.
I asked the cardiac guy what to tell insurance, company, etc and he said nothing? Not sure where that leaves me tho? I did have some kind of cardiac episode? He doesn't think it will happen again, but did tell me if I ever go for surgery again to tell the surgeon and anestitest (spelling again)
So guess I say squat?
I want to get away from van work and with the new hip I'm good to do deck work again so I'm looking at deck companies to sign my truck back on with. So when filling out the applications I don't mention it? Not sure what to do?
