Hello,
I am in a situation where the board found out I am bipolar, requested and demanded records from my doctor, invaded my privacy and had me submit to a 5.5 medical examination in which I suffered debilitating physical symptoms as a result of not having enough breaks or any food during the exam. The doctor did not address my physical needs while or during the exam and I suffered for the next three days after. They are suspending my license and suggesting I go into a monitoring program and go on probation. I find this discriminating especially since I am compliant on medication, my doctor says I am stable and I believe the doctor is negligent in not taking care of my physical needs while interrogating me endlessly. My only recourse is to go before the board, state my case or seek legal counsel for malpractice and/or discrimination.
your thoughts,
Heather

Feb 9 by VivaLasViejasIf you didn't disclose your illness on the license application, how in the world did the BON find out about the bipolar? As far as I know, they are not allowed to just plow through candidates' medical histories to dig up dirt on them....if they were, there'd probably be no nurses!
