Just wondering . .

If i go to a doc and get blood work done and tell him that i'm on steroids so i need checked.

Is it confidential or could he turn me in? I want to get blood work done, but i don't know if i can get caught for it.

Just tell him what you want checked. He doesn't have to know anything else.

Your average MD is not too cool, is employed by the HMO/PPO and is paid by the insurance company and if he puts down steroid use, it is considered an illegal activity and they may not pay. Check him out with a few questions first. "Doc, do you (or have you) ever pumped iron?" If you get a bad vibe, tell him you used to drink a lot and are worried about your liver functions and also that you are having problems getting it up. He will order the tests then, without compromising your little secrets.

cant you just use cash to pay for it your self???

It'll still look a bit sketchy going in and getting it done.

I'm sure he'll be wondering why, but who knows . .

Well, it's not a steroid test so i guess i don't really have

anything to worry about, right?

Thats what I would do. Find a private clinic and pay cash.
