Have you sought out a second opinion? Doctors can be wrong with the best of intentions.

"should be easy to find someone who doesn’t give a damn about the rest of your health" shows that he has a strong bias.

It should be easy to find an equally caring and competent doctor that may know more about addiction and ADHD.

I would like to honestly, but I really do know my doctor cares.

About three years ago I lost my insurance and he continued to see me for free until I got it straightened out. He also filled out my paperwork with everything necessary to get my medication funded by the state for free until I got it worked out.

It would be really difficult for me to go against him. He’s 84 years old though, and if he goes before me I’ll get a second opinion then.
