Long story short - very economical with the relevant issues. Having an op on your gut doesn’t get you banned from driving.
Much as I’m not a fan of dentistry, I would far rather have treatment than blow a hole in my stomach lining.
Ive had my gall bladder and appendix removed both very painful pre and post op and put on some serious pain killers, not allowed to drive when taking the pain killers and horrible withdrawl symptoms from them and my doctor never informed DVLA
I’ve had major spinal surgery and been on pain killers and NSAIDS for almost 20 years.
No ulcers, no damage, no need to tell the dvla.
This post is either another troll or as someone said above, smack head trying to play the system to get a licence again.
You do not get an ulcer from a small course of nurofen.
Seems strange he hasnt reappeared to defend himself…anyway…a doctor can sort that out if its a misconception…just see the doc…ask if you are fit to drive, get a lketter from him stating that…and appeal the reason…but as many have said…i believe he is not telling the truth, and it was more a case of serious drug addiction…and nothing to do with toothache or over the counter medication.
