Hear, hear! One of the things I like about our pede is that she refuses to do med management for stimulants and refers out to a pediatric psychiatrist. With the huge increase in kids on meds, I think most pedes are a bit over their heads-- they simply don't have the time to stay current in a specialty area the way a specialist can.
