Is it possible and under what conditions may a person with an
implanted defibrillator obtain a DOT/CDL?  I am a 36yoM with a cardiac
arrythmia who has had an implanted defibrillator for 15+yrs.  I have
never lost consciousness with this device, but it has delievered shock
therapy to my heart.  I drive everywhere, and I of course have a
drivers license, however, I suspect a higher medical standard may
apply with respect to a CDL.  This is in regard to a cargo transport
job.
