I'd have to agree. My doc is totally new to all of this yet he's keeping an open mind and set me up for bloodwork after 3 wks but told me to contact him if I had any concerns. I got all my initial info. here and then bought a book just to have another source. I borught this to the doc and we talked. Like me, you can find another doc., even if it's not easy or more expensive. It's your body and your life, you get to make the call, we're not talking about changing a med or dosing, it's your cash, you can test if you want. Hell, get a test and take the results to someone yourself. Too many physicians think they know all they need to know, and they wonder why their malpractice insurance is so high! My docs have had no problem writing heavy narcotics for my pain but worried about testosterone! Figure that out. Here's one better. Had low libido, asked if I wanted Viagra! I never said I had ED!!! Damn! That's like offering anti-fugal meds for a sinus infection!! I'm cool with my doc but I'm still getting a 2nd opinion. I want to make sure it's the proper med for me, the best dose or if I should add something else as well. I'll take the info back to him but if he's offended, he's not the doc for me. I want a professonal not someone worried about his bottom line. He's got plenty enough time and patients to earn him an excelent living. Time for us to change the way medicine is handled in the US!!!
Just my 2 cents!
