I would be cautious about admitting to any physician use of anabolic steroids. In many countries these are illegal and if your doctor records your use, it may result in the denial of your insurance (depending on the country you reside and the insurance programs). Your medical record follows you around to every new physician so any report of steroid use may restrict your access to coverage by insurers. I would be careful about how cavalier you about telling a physician to go fvck himself/herself. Denial of insurance authorization will be unpleasant when you need medical care.

I would estimate that most Dr's would be more suspicious with someone lying to them / not disclosing info then those who choose to be honest. I would choose to pick a Dr wisely and be honest. I'm more concerned with getting full and accurate medical treatment rather then hiding information that may end up hurting me more in the long run. Every dr has a different personality and beliefs, just find one who is understanding. many people are alcoholics and drug addicts and they still go to the dr and have insurance. In order to get proper care they have to be honest about their condition. For me I have nothing to hid or be ashamed of and I'm confident my insurance will go no where as long as i pay for it. Taking steroids is a walk in the park compared to telling a dr your a heroin addict for example. But it's the drs job to treat you and the insurance provider to provide insurance. I have zero fears about being honest.

You know there are doctors that have posted on this post. No matter what the doctors to personal beliefs are they are required by law to put that information into your medical file if you tell them that to protect their own medical licenses. They might be suspicious that you are on AAS but never tell them. Doctor will treat you but maybe not in the way you want them to, but within their medical license guidelines. Do you not think that there are a ton of lawyers that would love to sue a doctor that has a successful practice and has malpractice insurance?

IMO from what I have seen in the medical world a doctor would fire you as a patient and refer you to a doctor / specialist that deals with addiction. Then your screwed. Any insurance company can drop you for cause. So if you were to tell one doctor so bugger off and try to find a doctor that deals with AAS and then you say you do tren, they will tell you to bugger off as well.

It is not the doctors job to treat anyone for being stupid. Any doctor will cover their own interest first and only work in their scope of practice. General example, if you are having a heart attack at your PCP, they provide care until the ambulance shows up and sends you to a hospital. They don't treat heart attacks, they would stabilize you and send you off to a specialist. Is it the insurance companies job to provide insurance for people that are to high of a risk to insure for doing illegal drugs. Be smart and keep your personal stuff to yourself like AAS use.

You stated " I have zero fears about being honest" then just wait until you see government health care in action. Same rule applies to talking to police. People go to prison for being honest and can be 100% innocent and still go to jail. Its just not smart to ever talk to the police or share to much of your business with anyone.

Well maybe that is because you are only 33. As you get older, more mature you will start to see more and more changes to your medical, insurance and doctors and maybe not be so confident about having zero fears. I use to sort of think the same but the changes I have seen over the last 20+ years tell me it's that's it's not a good idea to give to much information sometimes especially admitting to doing anything illegal or questionable.

You might be surprised what your insurance company knows, regulates and shares with your employer and how it could effect your current and future employment. You will find most of us who are a little older feel pretty much the same way.
