Oi vey friends, what a journey! Renewal time is here and what a sticky situation. I signed my monitoring agreement in January 2015 and thus must still answer "yes" to having received treatment ect and thus must get a fitness to practice letter in order to renew. The only problem being that my PCP has seen me exactly once and I haven't seen a therapist since June because the board saw fit to release me from this requirement (you know...because I have done well, followed everything to a T). I am hopeful that she will write the letter. I've already gone back to my treatment center and found that everyone who saw me there during my treatment has moved on to other jobs. I was hoping for someone who would be familiar with me and my case...
I suppose I am just frustrated because the board has documentation of my fitness to practice in the form of two letters staying so , their approval of my discontinuation of seeing a therapist, my pristine record of checking in for UAs and documented negatives on all of them, my history of counseling reports, I could go on but you all know.
I am in fear right now. If she doesn't want to write the letter (which I would understand because she isn't terribly familiar with me, she's seen me once for a medical concern and who wants to put their name on someone's safety with patients if they don't know them?) then I won't be able to renew. It is just terrifying.
I've done the footwork and that's all that I can do right now. Please send positive vibes my way, I could use them. Advice is always welcome (maybe there is an option here that I am missing). Thanks all.
