<p>I’m not going to give real names or anything like that b/c this a confidential situation.
This happened a year ago</p>
<p>So lets say my name is Bob. I was attending A University, I did a medical withdrawal b/c I wasn’t doing well and I became depressed and did some stupid things. Ex: Saying things that I didn’t mean like im going to off myself… So this got reported and was in my record and this is also in my medical withdrawal. Once I withdrew from the University I signed a document stating that I will seek outside assistance and I did. I went to see Dr. X, I informed Dr. X of my situation and he obtained my records from my University. I told Dr. X I would like to attend the University again after the summer(I withdrew in spring). He said that is a reachable goal. We talked about specific things like what I was doing(no taking classes and looking for employment), we also did ADD testing. According to the results I was borderline or in the middle or something. Then he asked me to go to a medical doctor and get medication. I went to see Dr. Y, Dr. Y prescribed medication and said I was ready to attend the University again and she would look after my well-being. I showed this to Dr. X, and at the last minute he told me he would not recommend me. My parents and I then lost faith with him and thought he only saw me as a client and did not want to loose money. So we left, it has been a year since. Since that year I kind of did some soul searching, thinking what I want to do in life, prior to this I changed majors twice. I didn’t do well in both of the higher classes, but now I have decided on X major, I have read about it and studied some material since I was out of school. This summer, I took two classes. In the first session I took class X and earned an A. In the second session I am taking class Y, and I have a high B at the moment. Also during my time out of the university I was looking for employment, I could not find a job.</p>
<p>Now I want to re enroll in the university, I have completed all of the general requirements for my major. My university told me Dr. X needs to fill out a form. I sent the form to Dr. X, in this form there were several questions. Ex: Diagnose on the five clinical axises. Rate of 1 to 5 on sucidie, homicide, self-injury, failure under pressure, and something else. And a simple yes or no question on whether he recommends me back to the University. He answered no, according to my therapist at the University I was at, she said Dr. X said I was most likely to fail under pressure and would not recommend me. At the moment, she is requesting my records from Dr. X. And she asked me to wait on this.</p>
<p>At the time being I am writing a letter to her, stating that I am doing well in summer school at a technical college and not taking any medication. I have been looking for employment still and had a few interviews. Explaining how Dr. X gave an impression that he would recommend me and at the last minute he said no. In this letter I attached Dr. Y letter that states that she thinks I’m ready and will take care of me if any problems arise.</p>
<p>I plan to give a copy of this letter to my therapist and the ethical standard board at my University. How do you think they will react? Has anyone ever been in this situation or a been participate? What was your outcome? Is there anything else I can do? I really need to get back to my university and finish. Transferring is not a good idea because at the university I have around a 1.9 GPA. And any school that I transfer to will ask to see my University Transcript and would probably not accept that. I mainly had a 1.9 b/c I was under alot of stress and did not focus on my classes. My best friend got kicked out of his house and I let him live with me for sometime and another close friend of my was suicidal at one time. So I had to deal with this, also I tried to partake in too many activities at my University. Example: Fraternity, Yearbook, etc… I think I tried out for 4 things and made 2.</p>
<p>If I am allowed to enter the University, I would only take 2 classes at the start and increase my class load depending on how I do and I state that in my letter.</p>
<p>In addition, when I sent the form to Dr. X, he charged $75 to fill it out… it was a waste… he could of told me he would have not recommended me</p>
<p>Any advice is appreciated!</p>
