Re: Dr. Jain, please explain why you disputed another Dr.'s diagnosis of ADHD

[Geoduck]

Well, several meaning more than one, but I actually thought it was something like six. I think I got that off one of the DSM tests I saw here and also on another site. Nice to know. Where did you find that, by the way. I ask because I’m researching for a friend whose child is being treated. Still, Jain did say that Impulsivity could be part of ADD, and that ADD was a possibility here, just not that he was sure this guy had ADD.

Lying really is a strong word (you are implying perjury, which is a criminal offense), and I just see no benefit for Jain, because he would be paid, either way (if he was subpoenaed by this committee, he may have been compelled to testify without pay. That’s how it works here in the US, in some cases). Also, the damage that would have been done to his own practice would far outweigh any monetary incentive, unless it was enough to set him up for the rest of his natural life. I just don’t see any doctor putting their practice on the line like that. Plus, there would be the jail time for perjury. He just doesn’t look like a guy aching to go to jail anytime soon.
