@DrDaliah
i had an appointment at my PCP today. as per usual, i was weighed and checked for height. they do this every visit.
i am 66" tall......5'6" tall..?????...BS, i wear work boots, i am 6" 1" tall.....anyways
then the weight of 180.....???...and i am OBESES...?????.........BS, no doctors office scale is ever on target.....i weigh a shapley 165 pounds.......i just hadn't been to the bathroom yet, to lose some of that weight....
now something they never did before, was include a BMI.
i am at 29.05....
i was just reading a website regarding truckers BMI, and apparently, a BMI of 35 is an out of service..???
still i had passed my last DOT (at a clinic, my doctor does not do DOT)
ain't got much longer to go anyways to worry about my BMI, nor my incredible shrinking body.
but that damned weight....180 pounds..???
BS...there ain't THAT many raviolis IN THE WORLD, that can cause that...!!!!!!!!!
i am having a problem finding (any) information on (any) DOT rules or mandates on the BMI thing.
i can find only the numbers, but nothing on what will call for a sleep apnea test.>???
again, i personally worry not, but you others, start looking at any paperwork your PCP hands you at check out time..even the paperwork of the DOT doctor at your next exam.
