Any one taking a recent physical have to give access to their entire medical records?? OR? Have to sign a release for the company you are hiring on with to access them.

I recently had my records pulled and their are some discrepancies. It will take 90 days or more to fix. i knowof a few companies that have a release form you have to sign within their app. Just wondering.

For the juicy part it claims I admitted to having a history of anxiety and intravenous drug use. I was in er for blacking out at work 2 years ago, due to exhaustion. Worked 27 days straight avg of 14 hrs a day. Working as chef in newly opened restaurant.

Dispatcher, Fleet Manager, Driver Manager

The primary person a driver communicates with at his/her company. A dispatcher can play many roles, depending on the company's structure. Dispatchers may assign freight, file requests for home time, relay messages between the driver and management, inform customer service of any delays, change appointment times, and report information to the load planners.

Hit submit. I never admitted to either. Wife was w me at time and backs me up. Just have a 60-90 wait to see if they will fix it.

BMI:

Body mass index (BMI)

BMI is a formula that uses weight and height to estimate body fat. For most people, BMI provides a reasonable estimate of body fat. The BMI's biggest weakness is that it doesn't consider individual factors such as bone or muscle mass. BMI may:

  • Underestimate body fat for older adults or other people with low muscle mass
  • Overestimate body fat for people who are very muscular and physically fit

It's quite common, especially for men, to fall into the "overweight" category if you happen to be stronger than average. If you're pretty strong but in good shape then pay no attention.

Whoa! I've never heard of a discrepancy in someone's medical records but it's easy enough to imagine how that could happen. What a huge bummer. And of course it's something medical so it has to take several months to get it worked out, right? Another bummer.

I could go into even more detail, but it's just too much to put on here. Two years ago I blacked out from exhaustion and was taken to a small town hospital. At time I was working in a kitchen 90-100 hrs a week, about 27-30 days straight I went down. Hospital wouldn't take that as an answer to the problem. You wouldn't believe some of things they came up with.

Believe it or not... I had a hospital ask me if there was any addiction in my family cause I never had narcotics. I told them my sister was an addict and they put in my file that it was me.

It took me jumping theough hoops to get that removed :( I understand
