I have been batting the faa for the past year for them to clear my 2nd class medical or even for a special issuance, I received a DUI back in 2009 over 6 years ago. And every time I send the faa everything they ask for (plus extra that my ame suggested) they respond back with its not good enough, and they need more. I am enrolled in random alcohol testing and sponsored by a A ME, and I had a psychiatric evaluation by a psychiatrist who specializes in addiction and has faa guide lines knowledge, which is originally what they asked for, which he did his assessment and saw zero alcohol dependency and I needed no further testing, but the faa didn't consider him good enough, now they want a HIMS Dr.
I have been out of work now for 3 months waiting on the faa's response for a special issuance and now I they are requiring the psychiatric portion only of a hims eval. I have drained my savings and have no form of income until this is complete, which according to my A ME everything is perfect and I should be cleared in no time, well no such luck. How do I find doctors, the ones listed where I live (salt lake city) no longer do hims testing? the only ones I find don't do it anymore or are 12 hours away, and I cant exactly afford much until I got back to work, but I can't do that till the faa clears me.... Helllp!
