The personal doc is the one that is in control of the treatment, not the examiner. It is the doc who is in charge of the treatment that matters, if they prescribe the use of the machine or tell them to stop using it, then it is their decision that the examiner has to abide by because the examiner isn't a treating physician.
I went through this crap before on diabetes meds and other issues and the examiner was being a prick about all of it, and even argued with my doc on how she had her treatment plan setup for me, she filed a complaint with the place that did the examine, the fmcsa and the state over his insisting he knew more about my condition than she did, even though I've been with her for 11 years.

I AM saying that the doctor may have alterative medicines or advice to address those health needs if they fully understand the restrictions truck drivers have to live by.
It is also possible that the doctor may not fully understand at what point a driver needs to be taken off the road due to health complications that can't be addressed within DoT regulations.
That doctor may be awesome for a non-driver, but we live by different rules. -
12 ga Thanks this.

You can also join OOIDA, it's $45/year and then ask them BEFORE you follow advice that seems to conflict. Good luck -
Farmerbob1 Thanks this.
