Golf Digest Magazine

[UpstateNY]

I was shown a copy of Golf Digest for an article on a big name golfer that is on HRT and it's a good but short story. More positive media coverage!! I'm taking a copy to my Dr. so he can post it for other to view. Everyone here should be proud, this place is making a difference!!!!

I will have to check that one out!

When I went to my doc to get bloodwork for the HRT clinic he acted like he didn't know what the hell I was talking about. He didn't even know what some of the blood test were and told me some of these test are for females. LOL

I know how that can be. I told my Dr. that he had 2 choices. One was to get educated and work with me and build his knowledge base, and the other was to tell me he wouldn't and I would leave there for good, since he was of no use to me if he was that closed minded. I told him that a Dr. like that was dangerous in my opinion and incapable of offering the best treatment options available to his patients. He read the paperwork I gave him while I was getting the bloodwork done and waiting forthe results. We've taken the steps together and it's been good for both of us. He's not all that interested in learning a great deal, but he knows what he needs to for the future. At least he'll consider tests and the possibility that another guy may be in the same boat I was. So the other guy will get a better chance fast and proper care. Makes me feel good too. I'll check the date, but I'm pretty sure it's the current issue. Just a one page article, but hey, it made it in a major mag.! I consider that a big deal since all you ever hear is about how anabolics and being misused. Look at today's news, the Tour de France rider is banned for high test. levels! Dirty laundry sells papers, I guess but it hurts legitimate uses of the drug(s). Best of luck and please keep us up to date.

That is very interesting and I will look for a copy as well. I knew it was going ot be a matter of time before you start seeing Androgel commercials like you do the Cialis, Levitra, Lipitor commericals. They will use ppl like the older baseball, golf, and race car drivers like they do now. I am also following the Tour De France guy, too.
And on the doctor side, I had to find a new family doc because I wanted him to take over my TRT from my specialist to save on copays. He wasn't on board with that so he's gone and I have a young doc that doesn't squeak when he walks.
