[QUOTE="dumbmuthertrucker, post: 1694273, member: 56654"] I can't believe Upstate actually said something I agree with! The DOT physical really is a joke. They take your vitals, check your eyesight, poke and tap for a couple of minutes, make you drop trou and cough, and send you on your way. The last visit, my bp was really high. The nurse had me lay down for a few minutes and then checked it again, still high. She then had me rest my arm on the counter (above the level of my heart) for a few minutes, still high. Next was hold it above my head, this time below 140. She said, "There you go, healthy enough to work for 2 more years", and laughed! I went to my physician soon after that and I'm on bp meds now, so all is good, but I still can't believe what she did so I could "pass" the exam. [/QUOTE]
