[QUOTE="Load Stand, post: 142722"] [b]Re: "Doc in a box" horror stories[/b] Diagnosing a hernia is not as easy as you think...I have heard of 3 different opinions by three docs on one employee (2 said he did not have one, one said he did)....ultrasound was eventually used and found that although there was a small hernia, it was best to let it heal over instead of operate....have heard of a few other cases in which the initial doc had to get a surgeon's opinion....and half the time surgery was needed and half the time not... I agree the UPS doctors will only stick out out so far...it is not worth anyone's license to risk misdiagnosing...and a doc that does give you a hernia exam on a DOT physical is not supposed to....
