Medical card problems

Bs.

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.

 

Yes, me again.
Look up a few posts and read that article I posted.
CPAP useage is a weird thing.

 

I am not saying that the personal doctor doesn't better understand the driver's health needs.

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.

 

Any time a professional barks and say he or she does not give a #### instantly will see my attitude change to match in phase, I don't give a #### anymore about this exam that just became a total waste and a loss.

 

ignore, I'm in a bad mood and don't know how to completely remove a reply after it is started. If 1 doctor says don't worry about what another doctor prescribed, don't listen. Ask questions on the spot. I recommend you read the regulations for yourself and not depend on a doctor telling you what you want to hear. If they give bad advice you are the one without a paycheck. Bring your DOT Regulation book with you and have the doctor show you why his "don't worry about it" conflicts with the regulation.

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

 

Too many people keep asking until they are told what they want to hear and then assume that's the right answer.
