I'm really lucky because my pdoc sees a lot of health care providers, so she is very supportive if me working. Actually, she only takes new patients if they are health care providers, because she is full, but will make time for keeping her colleagues well. I have 2 other friends who are NPs like me, and who see the same pdoc and take meds, and work.

I think your pdoc is wrong.

Thanks. I do have problems with my memory, but my old pdoc told me to write everything important down so I won't forget and he said that to continue to work would be good for me. My long term memory is good its my short term memory I have problems with. I do write everything down and I don't think I have made any mistakes. I get good performance reviews at work so I don't think I am a hazard. I am going to call around and try to find a new pdoc. I hate that my old pdoc retired cause I really liked and trusted him.
