man, you beat me to my reply; DON'T ASK THE DOCTOR HIS ADVICE!!!!!!! I have[had] a close friend that was doc and I figured he would be the safest one to ask; we both worked out, etc. and he knew my medical history. Figured he could give good advise. Well, he did -- AND THEN PUT ALL THAT MOTH**FU**ING INFORMATION IN MY MEDICAL FILE !!!!!!!!!!!!!! In less than a year the insurance company needes some records and when they got that info they cancelled my insurance. Took me 4 months to find another career and then they put disclaimers in about 'not covering any liver damage' and preexisting condition' s***. If you have to ask, find a doctor you dont know and will never see again; give him false name, address, make up a social security number and pay by cash; leave no traceable records for the insurance bastards to trace!!!!!!!
