Before we jump to conclusions, let’s give Dr. Jain the benefit of the doubt. This was a lawyers disciplinary hearing, I used to work for a disciplinary board in law school, and I can tell you that, at least in NY, many of the facts are either omitted or coaxed in the formal, public document. More importantly, we’re talking about lawyers writing about ADHD, not doctors. They’re liable to missinterpret some nuances in the discussion.

We don’t know the full facts, but it seems that Dr. Jain was called in to give a second opinion and simply wanted more clarity.

This isn’t about someone getting meds or something, but blaming their ADHD for unprofessional conduct. That should be a higher standard.
