A buddy of mine was talking about his doctor the other day and he sounded like someone I could definitely relate to. I've been looking around for a new primary care physician for years now. I've just never had good luck with doctors. Yeah they know mostly what they're talking about, but the righteous, judgmental attitudes always turned me away. Mind you, TRT never came up in our conversation about the doc, just his overall demeanor and attitude towards healthcare.
So I book a new patient appointment and went to see him yesterday. We definitely clicked well. He starts talking about getting some baseline bloodwork and what not. So I tell him that I want to start this relationship truthfully and inform him that I've been on self prescribed TRT for years now. He kind of tests me by asking the dosages I take and what kind. I answer without hesitation so he increases the questioning to the point where he was genuinely asking questions because he didn't know half the stuff I was telling him. Kind of blew his mind. He is on TRT and had a rough time getting started and shared his experience.
He's not a urologist so it's not expected for him to know the ins and outs, but he knows enough and what's more important is he's willing to learn. We fill out the blood panel and I again explain to him that I'm currently on a blast so everything will be elevated. He just wants to make sure I don't have motor oil in my veins or a prostate tumor. Plus he's just genuinely interested in the results.
Anyways... Point of the story here is, I found a doctor that isn't judging me nor telling me not to do something just because. He just wants to monitor and help in any way he can while furthering his understanding along the way.
So, after all this time I might actually be going partially legit. Kind of stoked and wanted to share.
