Generally speaking, in Canada all Doctors are De Jeur private practice. They may have hospital privileges, or rent space at a clinic, but they bill the government health insurance organization directly, under their own name and license number and are not paid by the hospital, clinic or any other private organization. This does not apply to certain cases, namely Cosmetic Surgery, Laser Eye surgery and other uninsured procedures/types of care. But for something like ADHD, it is how it works. Physicians here do get samples of drugs, but generally speaking, they don't sell drugs. You go to a separately owned pharmacy to fill your Rx...even for an injection, you go the pharmacy and return to see the Dr/Nurse to have it administered. O.R. supplies/etc hospital stuff is still filled by a pharmacy that is intermediate to the pharma company.
Yes, we're telling him, in the interest of harm reduction, that he should follow the advice of his physician, and take a substance she Rx's and which has extremely strong empirical evidence showing it to be highly effective to treat his condition, and to be extremely safe if taken as Rx'd. What's the problem? Amphetamine is not physically addictive by the way. Neurotoxicity is only shown in vivo at FAR higher than medical dosage regimes. Whereas the effectiveness and safety of it is shown in vitro in randomized, double blind controlled studies in humans. Many of them, actually.
Science: Regardless of if you believe it or not.If you like it or not. It still works, bitches.
