I'm looking to get my DOT medical done in January, in maybe GA or FL (no mask enforcement there), without a mask. I have a heart rhythm issue that started back in the 1990s while I was wearing a respirator. There was an article about doctors in GA that did not wear or enforce mask wearing. I have emailed 8 from the registry list so far. It's going to take a long time... If anyone knows of one, I would appreciate the info.
Where to get DOT medical without a mask?

HIPPA laws only applies to medical professionals. Whoever started the old wives tale that no one can ask is simply wrong. And yes, I used to install computer systems in hospitals and Dr. offices. I've taken HIPPA classes in the past.Blue Zombie Trucker, joshuapowell61 and Six9GS Thank this. -

Bit of a difference between a respirator and a mask.
Maybe its a psychological thing. Like you hyperventilate with something over your mouth. Flashbacks to that chloroform episode??? Lol
I mean jeez why bother renewing the medical card only to have problems at most every shipper, receiver, fuel stop, etc... Seems like you're better off staying wherever you are now...ParochialNimrod, Blue Zombie Trucker, joshuapowell61 and 2 others Thank this. -
Likewise you can't force them to load or unload if you are not complying with the rules they have for everyone...
It goes both waysLast edited: Nov 16, 2020
