    A transplant should not keep one from getting a DOT medical card. The anti-rejection are not an issue, either.

    On the flip-side, what caused the liver to fail will get more attention than the transplant itself. If the liver failed because of drugs or alcohol, need I say more? It the liver failed because of Hepatitis-C then one could get a medical card and hopefully a job.
