I would also request some testing be done first, before giving him any drugs! We had problems with our oldest son from age 5 up till age 9 in school- (he is thirteen now), all his teachers thought he had ADHD and wanted us to put him on medication.We resisted and tried several things such as herbal,special diets, etc. anything but medication. Until finally when he was in fourth grade, they said they wanted to bring in the special ed and have him tested- it ended up that his IQ was over 135 (at 9 years old)!!! Can you imagine if we would have just relented and put him on meds because the teachers couldn't keep his attention in class? He was bored! Now that he has been in middle school the past three years and will start high school this Fall, and has such a great variety of classes and is able to switch class every hour, he is doing great! I don't blame you one bit for resisting putting him on meds- sometimes they push way to hard for that, and it may not be ADHD after all. (Also a strict schedule and bedtime helped us with him too.)

We had a girl in our clinical group who also did that! Also one of the guys in our group used the "red" thermometer to take an oral temp on a patient...

:roll I had a med secretary that also wrote that when a patient called in with the complaint when I worked in a clinic years ago as a medical assistant and when I saw it, I asked her to read it outloud to me and it took her like three times before she realized what it actually said, not what she thought she had wrote! Then we laughed so hard we almost peed our pants! :roll
