Article on Ritalin ‘journalistic sensationalism’

Dr Billy Levin, Johannesburg

I am sure I speak for everyone of your readers, that articles must be the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

Unfortunately, for whatever reason, the article is nothing near the truth and contains much misinformation.

Readers will be totally misinformed about this very important situation concerning the use of Ritalin.This is journalistic sensationalism at its very worst. Who in heaven’s name gave you this misinformation?

I have 50 years’ experience to feel really concerned. Obviously, you are entitled to ask me if I am an expert in the use of Ritalin, or just shooting my mouth off.  Hopefully I have documented scientific proof of what I am saying.

Would you dare publish my letter?
