Thank you for your response. No my psychiatrist is furious BUT the state cares less about him than it does their 'evaluators'
We actually called PRN (that's the organization the state passed me onto) from his office last week and they were so close minded and abusive, my normally soft-spoken pdoc called them 'ignorant', said it was obvious they wouldn't listen to reason, hung up and told me to get a lawyer.
I am asking him to write a letter presenting his opinion to pass onto the Board.
I do wish he were more willing to fight with me, for my rights, as well as his, but I guess expecting a doctor to actually care about you as a person is too much to ask for. Hopefully his letter will, at least, carry some weight
The really ridiculous part is that the independent psychiatrist they made me see, stated that I was "safe and stable to practice" obviously while on my current regimen. He just didn't like my meds and neither does PRN, hence the nightmare
thanks again
namaste,
