BS on cholesterol being an issue. High BP, sleep apnea and diabetes are the typical reasons a driver gets a 1 year card. I've never heard of a DOT physical testing cholesterol. I keep my CDL since I still drive in the FD and also as an insurance policy against unemployment.
Most likely fat ass Tobin is pissing glucose from his diabetes and he's sweating them telling him he has to go on insulin and that's when they yank his medical card.
Too bad for Tubby...
Yep. As they call it around these parts... he got the sugar. I have been told BP is easy to fix. Take double your amount of meds an hour or two before the physical. Don't agree with it. I would make sure if my BP is up I would get it down permanently. Heart rate? Mine has always been fairly rapid. I don't have to take a test though.
The real story is Tubbs is angling for a disability gig. He knew this problem was coming, reason why he got his degree, and now is stuck. Too old for some employer to give him a shot on the BA, too young to retire.
