will make your pulse rate and blood pressure look better. They will also
check for blood sugar so don't eat or drink anything (other than water) for
about 8-10 hour prior to your physical. Some places require you to blow in
a tube to check your lung capacity. Good luck Jack

We get the rubber glove check and it has been by a Female doctor the last 8
years.
It is different, I no how the woman feel when they get a Male doctor.

physical included as part of the class/tuition. As I understand it many
companies that Hire new drivers will require that the driver's physical
be conducted by a doctor of the company's choice. In my case, I got 2
physicals in about 10 days.
Frankly it would have made more sense for schools to administer the
physical before or shortly after class starts so someone doesn't waste
their time sitting in class only to find out they fail the physical.

different.
They all do things their way. Pee test are a joke. Heart test are a joke.
Some doctors are a joke.
It all will be in accordance to where you go and how strict or relaxed the
place doing the exams and test are, as you can gather from the replies.
Roll the dice it's a crap shoot.
(to answer the question)
(further reading on the subject of physicals below)
The most thorough exam I ever had came
from a "Doc in the Box" place. Not an MD but one of those
Chiropractitioner's,
whadyacallem? Oh well I forgot, anyway this guy took the exam to the letter
of the law probing me, sticking me, rolling little sticky prickly wheels all
over
my legs and arms, sticking an ear probe through my brain, gave me about 5
blood pressure checks, on and on and on, then failed me for high blood
pressure, swollen and red eardrums, inadequate reflex's, loss of feeling in
my leg and possible inability to react or use the limb in a normal manor and
a bunch of other crap PLUS ordered me to have a treadmill test that the
company refused to pay for. I called my lawyer. My lawyer said go see
your regular MD and just tell him about it. My regular MD laughed and
called the guy up and asked him what the trouble was, the guy used the
letter of the law on my doc and my doc had me sign a release to give my
medical records over to my lawyer. Guess what? The Americans with
disabilities act covers everyone in a sense, it's essence is to prevent
companies
from attempting to single out a person in an effort to prevent them from
being hired. In other words if you are subjected to some extra ordinary
situation that is not required, placed upon, or made as a condition to your
hiring that others are not "all" subjected to as well you been discriminated
against. If everyone was required to fork out 12 or 15 hundred bucks
for a treadmill test or even subjected to the anal retentive this
Gyropractor
laid on me then you wouldn't have a case like the one I got which paid
for...."A BRAND NEW CAR!" at this companies expense.
Yes, I told them I had a heart attack in the past, the form ask you to list
all the medical problems you have experienced and by law you are required
to be honest and report them which you should do, because if you don't
you won't "have a leg to stand on" if you are denied. Because I had passed
previous 'ohysicals' (DOT) and had a clearance to return to work and no one
else had ever been required to have a treadmill test by this company or this
doctor as well as never having a history of high blood pressure or loss of
feeling
it was pretty simple for all the lawyers.
Point: don't be worried about a physical being worried about a pee test is
another thing altogether. Take it easy and tell the truth it's up to them to
decide if you pass the physical and trust me they better have a good damn
reason not to pass you because laws override laws in this country and there
is more than one doctor around to always disagree with another doctor.
I was worried for a long time after my heart attack about this problem and
many posters to this group over the years have brought up the same issues
or other medical conditions that they feel may limit them from employment.
It boils down to being a pretty obvious ailment or a dramatic condition that
proves conclusively that you are not fit to drive. Border line or
questionable
things can easily be disproved just don't settle for one opinion because
that's
what these things are all about. Besides companies are required to make
reasonable accommodations for you by law, trust me if they think they can
use
something to convince you or persuade you that something is wrong with
your ability to drive they'll try it. Just don't lie about anything because
that
way they can get you.
Oz
I've used an example to illustrate a point here, the example is not an
issue,
the issue is being worried about physicals, the remedy is to be truthful and
relax about physicals by knowing your rights and to recognize an abuse of
your rights. Conclusive high blood pressure along with a history of recorded
high blood pressure readings is a reason to be deemed unsafe driving a
motor vehicle if you are not making an effort to control this problem and
are not being realistic with yourself about a condition that could seriously
hurt you or others while operating a motor vehicle of any kind. This applies
to any condition including me having a bad heart and to whether or not I
am using good sense to operate a truck based on my own knowledge of
my condition and my trusted doctors opinion. Using a "quack" to over ride
a qualified opinion is not being suggested or hinted. What is being
suggested
is that many safety department personnel are not lawyers and can not
interpret
laws governing physical conditions along with the ADA laws and are very
capable of declining you a job based on what is an opinion from a doctor
following his guidelines which in some circumstances is an effort by the
company to prevent you from being hired based on this opinion. If you
don't like then don't take it, do something about it. My suggestion would
be to find a lawyer that specializes in Federal Law and not a street lawyer
because the saying "Making a Federal Case of It" is not just a saying it's
a reality.

As far as my last one went: Urine sample, blood pressure, read eye chart,
answer list of medical questions, talk with Doctor about those answers, and
a couple of streching exercises to show body limber-ness (I just made up
that word). I didn't drop my drawers.

It is fairly obvious that I have pissed someone off -- probably the same

couple of papers to fill out and then a urine sample for sugar and drug
testing.
I don't know where some of you got your physical, but what some of you
described was worse than when I had to bend down and spread my cheeks for
the Marine Corp!
I guess the old dog still has it at 48.
Thanks for all the positive input.

peeing in the cup, which always gives me a hard time, it was pretty straight
