The original post makes sense in most ways, but not always. My GP is pretty clueless about everything I have asked him about. I have been in and around medicine for fifteen years and other than specialists, very few docs impress me. The GP doc has too much to cover to know about very specific areas.
The bottom like is there are some things you need to see a doc about. There are many other gear related questions that most can't bring up to their doctor. My doctor is not "cool" like some of your docs are and I don't need him for much so I don't care. But if I have a question about protecting my liver while taking 750mg/week of sust, 40mg of dbol/day and fina 400mg/week, I can't ask him and I think that is medically important.
If I think my GI tract is messed up, like it recently was, I go to the ER and then a gastro. If I break an arm, I go to the ER. If I am having bad cramping from fina, creatine, etc., I don't ask my doc. He doesn't have a clue.
Additionally, People on this site are giving advice on how to take all kinds of prescription medicines like test, deca, anadrol, clomid, nolva, ferma, HGH, etc. Those are some serious medical questions in my mind. How many people on this site know all the potential short-term and long-term adverse events with those Rx drugs and how they could interact with other things people take on a daily basis from other meds to herbal supplements?
I agree, but I also know there are questions here you can't get answered at a doctors office. I don't mean to sound negative, but you have to pick your source for info. I see the net as info gathering, but ultimately each one of us is responsible for making an educated decision about our health while taking gear.
