Will your doc come and testify on your behalf? If not, then I would not cross it. The department of health looks at higher plant counts more closely.
I asked this once before, but, isn't the reason you need more plants is to produce edibles or an edible form of the medicine? Choosing not to smoke the medicine and using it in edible form, regardless of your qualifying condition, is the 'why' of extended plant counts, is it not? Obviously making edibles requires more plant material.

I thought this was the reason that the dept health is now RECOGNIZING extended plant counts?

In so far as the doctor coming to court, can't he be subpoena'd like anyone else and be required to show up?

I agree though the law takes a twist once you are charged and you are no longer 'innocent until proven guilty' as the burden then lies upon you to prove your innocence? Backwards IMO.
