Two weeks ago I had knee surgery and beforehand I disclosed my AAS use to my surgeon. I had no idea how many people would find out about my secret before I even had surgery.
The day I told him he suggested that I have some bloodwork done to make sure everything was ok. I said sure, I'd like to see how I'm doing as well. Well he walks out of the exam room to call my primary care doctor about it and leaves the door open. I heard the phone conversation and him telling the other doc about my gear use- so if I heard it in the exam room there's no telling how many others who were in the area heard it. Anyways he reenters with a nurse in tow and asks if I mind discussing these matters in front of her. I say no prob. This was the first matter that kinda annoyed me, this next one is worse.

So the day of my surgery arrives. My mom shows up to wish me well and sticks around while I'm getting prepped talking with me and my wife. One of the nurses gives me the garb I have to wear and I go and change. When I get back the anesthesiologist is waiting at my bed. He asks a few routine questions and whether I had any bloodwork done recently. I said yeah just a few days before and everything was cool. Then he looks through a few pieces of paper and asks "whats this about anabolic steroids?" My jaw dropped. I just looked at him and told him the cycle I just finished, then looked over at my mom and thought "fuck". Although my wife knows and doesn't mind I never intended for my parents to find out. Not known to me at the time but my mom already found out about it when I was changing- some nurses were fucking talking about it right in front of her and my wife!!! Damnit I'm getting pissed off all over again just thinking about that asshole opening his cocksuckin mouth and saying that shit. I don't understand it- if my bloodwork came back fine and I was there getting prepped then why the hell did he have to bring it up? It's not like they were gonna cancel my surgery for crying out loud, it was all a go!
Damn even when I went in to have my bloodwork done I remember the nurses looking at me strange.
Well now my parents know and although they aren't giving me any grief about it I still wish they hadn't found out. It just pisses me off that those jerkoff doctors seemed to be slinging around that info without regards to the problems it might cause. I mean damn, what if I had told them I was a cokehead? Can you see that dick asking "so whats this about cocaine use?". If could've been anything private. Anyways just venting about the jerkoff medical profession and their woefully inadequate knowledge of AAS.
 
This is why I have always advised not to discuss this shit with doctors. It gets worse. When the insurance claim is filed, this information will be part of the record. All insurance companies belong to the Medical Information Bureau....they share this information with other companies when you apply for health ins., life insurance, disability insurance and so on. It follows you around like a DUI. I would raise hell, and demand that any reference be deleted from the chart, if it ain't too late.
 
I would

consult an attorney, your privacy was violated. This is possibly defimation of character. At the minimum I would confront the doctor and explain how you feel about his devil may care attitude to your personal and private information.
 
that sucks man! i thought they can't say anything like that. i would definitely let him know how much of a screw up he is.
 
Im a DR....your rights were not violated...
your doc has every right to discuss the matter with any doc that is or will be treating you...your doc cant discuss the matter with your mom or other family memebers or any other payient,,,secretary ect..if this happened you have a case
 
something like that happend to an old girlfriend of mine. she had to have emergency surgery for something she considered very very private. this was the same hospital where she worked. (first mistake having surgery where you work)

a few months later my mother was in that hopsital and mentioned that i was dating a girl who worked there to an old friend/nurse she knew. well the nurse strarted running her mouth to my mother about the operation my g/f had.

i was able to figure out who was running her mouth and had her fired. but not until i had my attorney call the hospital and threaten a law suit. my g/f was going to let it go but i got her father involved and hooked him up with my family attorney.

nothing is private anymore. and that sucks! just being stupid like the nurses up top blabing about his A/S use for anyone to hear within ear-shot.
 
hey animal, i'm not a doctor but i play one on tv. :)

unless he signed a wavier, the doc can't discuss his private medical info with anyone not involvedwith the procedure. this includes his mother and father after the age of 18. the wife is a grey area and depends on the circumstances.

That shit is incredible!!! I would be fucking crazy pissed! I will say it again, 90% of the MDs today are fucking morons. It's no wonder, because it's no longer very rewarding to practice medicine. HMO's, insurance, etc have ruined that profession. Most college graduates who would be potential doctors are going into the business side of the medical community.
