I even got to the point in high school where I'd eat a snack at a set time to control the peak. That lasted about 3 months then the peak shifted to about 15 minutes before the snack and I'd have the problems then. I think in high school I got maybe 3 ambulance rides out of it where the nurse's office couldn't control it. Quote: |

Would the DMV penalize you even if you weren't driving at the time? And what ever happened to keeping a patient's records confidential?! | Nothing is confidential anymore. Here in Ohio we don't have the restriction, but anyone can pull a police run and find out that you were sitting at Bob Evans and lost conciousness, and that's not confidential. We do have a form though that anyone in the general public can fill out, it requires two public signatures and two police signatures, or just three police signatures total it will suspend anyone's license. Most don't know the form exists since it can only be obtained at police stations and most stations don't have them. And the DMV can penalize one even if not driving. I forget the term they use for it, but the theory is it "could" happen while driving, so let's prevent it before it does.
