Doctor's with ADHD: One of my fellow medical students had adhd. I don't believe that special accomodations were made for him. He received phtreatment. He still needed to learn the same information (the pace was gruelling) and to accomplish the same tasks as the other students. Maybe, other doctors on healthtap have different experiences than this.

They get treated: I have personally seen physicians, psychiatrists, lawyers, architects etc that are ADHD. They get help whether it is medication or strategies or a combination of both (most cases), the help makes their job easier.
