Heart Attack ,Health Card

[NorthernBill]

Hello everyone, was wondering if there was a requirment to obtain a new health card after a major medical event. I am doing fine, Doc that treated me wasen't concerned. Just dont want to get blind sided down the road.

Thanks Bill

Thanks Paullud, I found some info on the DOT website. 391.45 is the rule that seam's to cover my condition. Called my Doc that did my last health card, we will see how he interprets the rule. Read that it may be two months before i can get a new card, hope I'm wrong.

So the PA that did my DOT physical tells me that there should not be problem? What can i say, company i work for (oil field) safety and HR has not let me know the results of the stress test i took Monday. The stress test was done buy a RD party work safety outfit. Any body have a problem with DOT after a heart related incident?

Thanks Bill
