The contraindications you are talking about are more than likely drug inserts by the drug company and repeated on the internet when you look up the drug.
Parnate has been around for awhile and time has revealed that some of the original contraindicatins are no longer correct. Psychopharmacologists are using many of the contraindications on trd patients with great success. If you took the time to study the drug and its history you would see that. As drugs evolve we learn new things you can do with them under the care of a skilled p-doc.
I'm sorry but I believe your assertions about her p-doc may be incorrect. Her doctor probably knows exactly what he's doing. I don't know how much you have studied parnate but more than likely he has studied the drug and there are many studies on it. Especially using tcas (other than clomipramine or immirpamine-serotonin syndrome risk). Nortriptyline and parnate actually make parnate safer in terms of bp crisis. Please read this from a p-doc who has used parnate on more than a 1000 patients.

I would have been upset if you would have responded this way to a combo I was using. You seem to imply her p-doc is incompetent when the man may be quite skilled.
