    I just spoke with a school about doing a refresher and I was told I can't do a refresher until I have a medical card. Does anyone know in Massachustetts where I can get one?

    Google "DOT physicals" in your area. Urgent care clinics, CVS pharmacy minute clinics among others. Con centra clinics too.

    She says she doesn't do them because she doesn't do the eye exam and the drug test.

    Ask your Doc. All he needs are the proper forms, I was the first dot physical that my Doctor did, Also did my urine test and it was all covered by my ins.
    As far as drug tests I don't think it's nesesary becuase the place hiring you will probally want to do a current one anyways

    Yeah, the DOT physical urine test is just a blood sugar test.
