The FAA "didn't receive" three consecutive sets of paperwork sent in by no
less than three of my doctors from three different clinics. In all three
instances the doctors were kind enough to give me copies of the required
documents which I then faxed to the FAA. Two of those documents were
received okay, but the FAA told me one fax was "garbled", but enough of the
document was received that they decided to continue my special issuance
anyway. I wouldn't blame your doctor if I was you.
