Thank you for responding. Sorry it has taken so long for me to get back to you. I was last told that suboxone tx by nurses was taken under consideration in " a case by case basis" what ever that means. If you can e-mail me any more info I would greatly appreciate it. I believe, as you do, that it should be allowed to be taken by impaired medical professionals. It does not have any adverse effects on judgement. Not using the medication definately has an adverse effect on judgement by the "impaired person". Again, any info would be appreciated. My e-mail address is Thanks, Randy:typing
