Monitoring the results of a CBC to assess overall health and hormone levels is one thing. Prior to surgery I was on heavy pain meds and had to do submit a urinalysis every 3 months to prove I was not taking any other substances. I have no history of substance abuse, it was protocol b/c too many people abuse prescribed medications, as well as combine with street drugs.
Are you referring to monitoring PEDs? I'm confident that any decent doctor can provide you with an overview of the risks and impacts of using high-dosages of various PEDs, however, if one is engaged in recreational use of such substances it's not the doctors responsibility to monitor your cycle. There's a conflict of interest there. Running a blood test and informing you that there are risks associated with what you are doing or as evidenced from the results of blood work is one thing, but no doctor is going to put themselves in a position where they can be held responsible for the choices you make.
I may have misunderstood your post, and I'm trying to clarify what you meant. If it was in regards to knowledge of various compounds, again, there are general risks associated with using PEDs, but it's not a doctor's responsibility to know the precise risks associated with using Tren, Anadrol, a peptide, or GH secretalogue.
Im going to start with where are you from. Im guessimg if you have good health care your from the west.
Maritime health care is the worse in the business, were talkin about overall health hear, were also talking testosterone replacement therapy and other hormons , thyroid etc were talking everything.
Im part of alot of different groups and i can tell you that your normal doctors are not up to date with current medicine, they are trianed to treat you once an organ fails or somethings broke easiest way to say it.
Iv witnessed this myself and i cant even begin to tell you how my doctor would have litterly killed me had it not been for the steriod community and all the forums and pages iv joined.
For the majority theres some smart guys on these fourms and at your local gyms that can teach you alot if you wanna listen, doctors just wanna get you in and shove you out in the maritimes.
Let me say this , it takes me 3 months to book a blood test and 2 months too book an appointment with my doctor. This is real ... you tell me how someone thats unhealthy can wait that long, if it wasnt for the smart educated users around hear i might not have got through half of what i did or know half of what i no.
Iv since moved on to an np from telemedicine, i pay outa pocket for it even though i pay 100k in taxes to my province, and i cant get the health care in my province. That should be covered.
Again i dont wanna explain the whole story it pisses me off everyday i have to suffer because my doctor is a complete idiot. This is the same doc that told me my thyroid was fucked because my lh and fsh were at 0....... im on trt doc its gonna be zero......
Alberta health care, Ontario, bc have excellent health care, come to the maritimes and tell me how you like the health care.
What i meant from my earlier post was , a guy can learn more from the bodybuilding community then he can from a doctor thats not educated.
A guy can go to a doc and tell him oh im tired and have a few things checked but if i know exactly the things to check i can demand to have it checked.
My doc wouldnt check my t4 t3 for my thyroid he said tsh was normal at 3.97 i demanded it and he said ohhh it cost to much ? I said i want it , because of the things iv learned in the community and from all over i was able to make him check it ,
So he checked it and my thyroid came back with crashed t4. This was not abuse this was trt , he wouldnt prescribe me medication he said to come off . Last month i couldnt walk in cold chills thought i was gonna die. I paid this np doc and got the meds and feeling better.
Not to mention this was the same doc that last year seen my trans sat at 75%!!!!!!! My iron through the roof and my ferritin high and said oh your fine noithing wrong......
I caught this 5 months ago way after i left his office with a good luck son hope you feel better. Had i of known what iv learned up tonknow i would have dug alot deeper and pushed for more testing.
Im bitter against doctors in the maritimes, because i do not think they are up to date with modern medicine. Its a patchy story , and i can understand how confusing it would be to read if you have a awsome doctor like the west, i know because my np is 100 times the doc my maritimes one is.
Rule 1 iv learned is that if your doc wont help you move on ..why suffer for 10 years with someone who cant help you.
