i' ve read on these forums that drug test expires after 30 days and/or 90 days...which one is correct and is it the same for medical?

Wow, do they allow you to keep your underpants on at least? I understand they make you do certain movements like lifting legs and/or squats etc....how do they check reflexes? The hospital gowns have a way to tie, right?

Hello all, I came across an old post on this forum that they make you strip during medical? How true is this?

Can anyone that has taken the signal's tests share an example as to how detailed they want the definitions to signals? Is it full sentence? Few words defining? How exact?

Thank you, wasn't hospitalized for the procedure. Am thinking one of the questions will be if I ever had any surgery.

Thank you RTOMan. I'm in excellent health overall...no blood pressure issues, no diabetes, no heart problems etc....But maybe you or someone on here can advise ....I had surgery for carpel tunnel about six years ago and I plan to disclose it but I want to do everything possible to ensure I don't get disqualified or put medical hold and get delayed. I already have a note from my doctor indicating the issue was resolved via surgery but there aren't any details. Do you or anyone on here know if that would be enough ? If not what should the letter be stating exactly, how detailed does it have to be? Should I get a letter also from the surgeon that did the surgery as well? and what type of information should be stated on the letter and/or any other details the dr at MTA might want? Just trying to get it right the first time. Any advise would be greatly appreciated! 0 Quote MultiQuote

Can anyone say besides ekg, vision, hearing, etc...what else do they have you do during medical? Are there any types of exercise? Like jumping jacks or something. Physically what do they have you do? Raise arms above head? Push up's? Etc...? Any detail regarding?

Hello RTOMan I was looking through this for him and came across this old post.... I am currently waiting for the call for medical and I went to my doctor and got a letter from him indicating asthma is stable and my carpal tunnel is resolved by surgery. Do you think that is enough or should the doctor be more specific in the letter like last asthma attack which was many years ago and or when was the surgery which was six years ago or is what I have sufficient? Any input would be greatly appreciated. Just trying to be honest and do the right to avoid getting put on medical hold.

Thank you!

Thank you.

Hello all, I took the drug/alcohol test on Monday, February 22 for train operator. I had quite a few glasses of wine the night of the 20th, was my mothers 60th birthday party and was just having a good time and celebrating. What are the chances of passing the test?

Hello everyone, new to the forum. I did my drug test on February 22 and just waiting for the call to go for medical evaluation. I have spent countless hours reading these posts on school car experience and has been very informative. I am a little concerned about the one chance signals test because if everything goes well with the medical evaluation I will be leaving my current job after 18 years. I do have the mentality in doing everything I can to ensure I get through school car but the signal test brings a lot of fear into pursuing this. Can anyone share the light as to approximately how many signals one has to retain for the test? Has anyone ever been in my situation in leaving their job after so many years?
