He is going to find out that they do not tolerate lawlessness in Western Australia any more than we do in Queensland.

I may or may not have met this person several years ago.

Looks rough @ the door.  So much for anti-aging.

Weird was talking to gf earlier about how common steroid use is but how clueless doctors are.

Had to explain how insulin is anabolic to my doc earlier. To most docs it was two pages in a textbook they deal with flu and chest infections most of the time.

In his defence, he may have been the only MD willing to talk to me when my test results showed rock bottom T levels.  An endo, who I grant had cases far more dire than my own to deal with, wouldn't even give me the time of day.  Despite genuine symptoms, I was written off as a drug seeker.

I found the medical establishment here perfectly willing to leave me out in the cold, despite symptoms and test results which corroborated them.  Not saying he wasn't cashing in but if he was overprescribing in comparison to other MDs then just maybe others are too unwilling to prescribe for borderline cases.  

They'll crucify this dude.  Meanwhile, cosmetic clinics will keep selling GH as a downside-free panacea to any housewife willing to fork over the cash.  And where's the investigation of those doctors who are willing to do nothing for patients who could use some help?

Same with my doc. I had to explain to him why it androgel  lowers sperm count. He said "oh, I thought it sod up it because we were adding testosterone." The average juice head knows much more than your average physician.

its the usual bash steroid users attitude of the Govt/establishment

they don't realise steroid addicts/users have a mental illness of body dysmorphism

this shld be a legal legit Rx for this mental disorder

if ppl want to use steroids- they shld be so long as they make an informed decision re health risks

Nah..average informed juicer does. Most have no clue about negative feedback in this situation even though it is highschool biology. Interstitials make test and that test bathes sperm makes it motile. We lack motile sperm. Last two sentences are beyond the ken of most gym rats.

I see luke wood thread on front page. A pro who mixed up mcg and mg with t3. Come on now...

Doctors in Australia won't give men hrt.  Meanwhile they dose the women up on it.  It's complete BS.  Not sure why the double standards?

Ditto, my GP couldn't believe how unprepared the endo was to help, even with three separate blood tests showing very low T levels.

As for the doc in question, I have a mate who was getting scripts from him, said he'd do it for anyone who'd offer a cash incentive.

Please, according to Barry O'Farrell it's steroids to blame for all the fighting on the streets and when someone very familiar with steroids ie. Lee Priest says to Barry you have no idea Barry says 'Mr.Universe is out of this world' and lets face it Barry is an honest fella who would never be corrupt and if he was it was because he forgot.

It's definitely not Alcohol. Or MDMA mixed with other drugs. Or Ice. Does Ice even exist? Lets pretend it doesn't and go after steroids users all 0.0001% of the population using them. Meanwhile Ice is at 53% but Ice doesn't exist.

Yep, I'm sure the specialist in his special world had people with 8 heads to attend to and didn't care for the interruption from a 'public patient.'    Mine wasn't about to be drawn into discussing symptoms, or causes of symptoms, or recovery timelines, or gathering more blood testing data.  Nevermind the Rx pad.  The guy wouldn't even have a dialogue.  If he'd just said hang tough for a couple weeks and then come back if you're not feeling better and I'll order a second blood test - I'd have been satisfied.  I was genuinely concerned about my health and he was about as unwilling a cunt as an unwilling cunt can be.  Who's investigating that useless bastard?
