Making general statements about the risks and benefits of medication is different from proscribing them. The George K. Lerner, MD who was FTX’s resident pill-pusher seems to be based in San Francisco and wants potential patients to know that inter alia “Dr. Lerner specializes in the treatment of Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD/ADHD) in adults.
