DOT physical results

Post by Tatooed Lady » Wed Aug 06, 2014 10:57 am

Just took my physical. Found how much weight I gained back (oops), I have the blood pressure of "a teenager" according to the doc. I blew his mind with the info I shot to him on what I've done on my own therapy, my hurdles, this site, SleepyHead...he looked like a kid who was just told that he gets to live in a treehouse with Tarzan and all the candy he wants.
PASS.

Doctors are usually quite smart. They are academically bright , as proven by the fact that they managed to get into medical college inspite of intense competition; and have successfully graduated from a demanding course.

Congratulations on passing the physical.

I have to renew my DOT medical card in November, what did you need to bring to prove compliance with your CPAP treatment?

My particular setup includes a modem, so my company printed out my compliance records and sent them with me. They use the Respironics software...Sleepy Head is better.
