How do you guys get a good (understanding ) doctor ?

[timtim]

The same way you fund a good doctor for anything else; by shopping around. Keep looking until you find one you can both trust and is knowlegable about your medical needs. Doctors that speacialize in sports medicine are a good place to start and if your in a fairly large metro area, you won't be the first, or last, patient with anabolic androgenic steroids toxicity concerns. Also, don't worry about gettin narced because your protected by both doctor patient confidentiality laws and HIPPA. A good doctor is concerned first and foremost about the patients health. Good luck.

a doctor will chart your use and your insurance company will see his notes. this will make any further health insurance nearly impossible to attain due to self medication.

if you want a good doc find a general practioner in your insurance plan who specializes in a field, mine is a nephrologist who is a gp and specializes in hrt. you can do a search of all usa hrt docs and find one in your area. these are the docs to see as a gp and allow time to pass as you introduce your lifestyle to them. my doc realized immediately how i live and openly began discussing future hrt programs i can use including hgh with test and other aas. this will ensure a prescription and have no impact on further insurance coverage. do not tell them about past use, you do not want it charted.

I heard that if you tell your psychiatrist that you are about to commit a crime that could risk the well being of yourself or someone else they are required to drop dime regardless of Dr/patient confidentiality.

I don't know what the deal is with a murder charge as that's a whole other ball game but I think people are overconfident about he Dr./Patient confidentiality issue. I'm not 100% certain and maybe an attorney can chime in, but I believe that a doctor can be court ordered to provide information or testimony concerning illegal activities you may have told him about. Not to say that a judge would automatically do so, but the option may be there.

Someone with knowledge of the legal system, please correct me if I'm wrong on this.

Well, let's put it this way. The feds raided all of the local hrt clinics here about 2 months ago. They took the Dr. client lists and all of their treatment records. Next thing ya know every cop and firefighter's name on that list is now under investigation for AS use-even if they went about it legally and had a legit condition for treatment. Nobody is 100% safe, ever.

thanks for the replies guys. It does seem to be more difficult simply because of the complex nature of things these days. We need to see the dr to check levels and it seems to me that there are probably a lot of good bros out there that arent seeing the doctor simply for this reason. It is kinda like the guy that gets shot in the foot by accident and goes to the hospital. By law, the police must be called and there has to be a report filed on it. Everything is getting more and more difficult.

So , should I google hrt docs in my area or what ?

Yes. If you live out West I think you'll be more successful in finding one close to you though. Back East HRT isn't as popular for the same reason Breast Augumentation isn't as popular. When you have the option to wear a sweater 8-9 months a year, a lot less people give a shit about how they look. I live in Phoenix and I can spot a midwesterner here on vacation no prob. The way they look, walk, talk, dress, and carry themselves makes them stick out like a sore thumb in the land of beautiful peeps that is Pho-town.

I personally had a bad experience with a psychiatrist after telling him about my steroid and recreational drug use, the result was that I was totally screwed trying to get the medication that I actually needed because he wrote drug abuse in his write up. As far as I am concerned I am paying for a blood test and the results I don't need to give them a reason why.

Really I am a bit surprised that this thread is dying so quickly. I think everyone here would agree that bloodwork, BEFRORE, DURING and AFTER is the most important thing that we can do to ensure a safe cycle with limited negative impact on our bodies.

I can only deduct two reasons for the few responses. One, most bros dont go to the doctor or two the docs are getting harder to find and noone really knows the best way to contact a doc in todays "hot " world. Some help would be nice. I know there has to be a way to find an understanding doc without leaving my nuts out in the wind to be crushed. Thanks
