Sclose 757, a word of caution!

If you get prescribed some pain killer - hang onto the original bottle that it comes in and make sure you have the physicians name, phone number and fax number. You will need to disclose this information on the sheet they provide you before your drug test. This is VERY IMPORTANT! I don't want to see you ruin your career before you even get started because you didn't realize this - you will have a failed drug test on your record if you do not take care of this, and you may never get started if that is the case.

Just as you advised got all on documentation regarding script docs name contact number and signed letter for the mro monday. Be damed if this stops me from driving!

Wow that really sucks! Being sick or in any kind of pain on the road is a nightmare. It happens to everyone at some point but on the bus is about the worst timing possible. Glad you got to the ER and it's great to hear you're still determined to make this happen. I've had a toothache myself and it's brutal. Sitting there on a bus with nothing else to really think about would make it 10 times worse. I feel for ya.

Hopefully the ER took care of everything and you'll be good to go.

Things are looking better.. meds took away the pain and not making me all loopy and as an added bonus got a bus for this morning! Since i haven't been in pain ive been able to continue my studys for permit test and notified recruiter and talked to my son and wife this morning. . Sucks sitting at a bus stop but at least im abke to make the most of it!

Ouch I feel for you I've a few toothaches and they always make me fold up like a shotgun, and as Brett pointed out only made worse by being on the bus for school... Prime was my first pick company but I couldn't get them to call me back and from reading what others have said I probably won't hear from them since I'm a D.O.D contractor.
