The 34 year old Kho took it to Instagram Monday where the visible part of the document reads:

"Resultantly, we are constrained to construe complainant's failure to oppose as desistance or waiver of her right to object to the petition. As the case stands, petitioner's allegations regarding his qualifications and achievement remain unrebutted.

"We see no cogent reason to further burden petitioner with the remnants of a reckless faux pas when his overall conduct shows a manifestly repentant heart. While others simply passively wait for the period revocation to lapse, petitioner positively and quickly acted to prove himself a worthy medical doctor to this Board and the Commission.

"Wherefore, all premises considered and for reasons of equity and justice, the Board hereby grants petitioner's petition for reinstatement. Dr. Hayden Kho is hereby reinstated to the practice as medical doctor."

The PRC revoked Kho's license in 2009 after he was found guilty of committing unethical conduct in connection with his video recording of his intimate interactions with different women.
