[QUOTE="Jackie Treehorn, post: 32693, member: 12618"] You want to play semantic games about what makes your good family doctor your TRT doctor now...fine. You can call him anything you want, and you don't have to imply anything. The mere fact that the guy is writing you a prescription for a controlled substance (testosterone), is enough to close that loop in a legal sense. That alone makes him responsible for your well being and care with regard to TRT. Like it or not, he's your horse. So, who do you go to when you have a question regarding your protocol, lab results, adverse symptoms, etc? Forums like this? Google? The way you describe it, it would seem that you know more about TRT than your doctor. I'm not trying to be a wise ass...that's what I'm getting from your posts. Doesn't sound optimal to me. The doctor is the medical professional here, and is supposed to know more than the patient he's treating...or so I've heard. You're probably right...because those doctors that don't specialize in TRT lack the knowledge and experience with current TRT protocols. Your average primary care physician out there is clueless with regard to TRT. Don't think so? Just read thread after thread right here at Excelmale, about guys frustrated with the standard of care they've received from their primary care physicians, endos, and urologists. It will keep you busy reading for weeks. The majority?? Not from what I've seen and read here. Many of these PCPs (primary care physicians) prescribe outdated protocols, and are afraid to prescribe HCG or Anastrozole (if needed). Recently we had a guy on this forum tell us that his doctor wanted to implant Test pellets! Are you frigging kidding me? Pellets? It would be laughable, if it weren't so sad. A minority are dialed in because they're willing to spend a little extra money to get a doctor that knows what the heck is going on. The vast majority of guys out there will go with the path of least resistance and cost. These are the guys that will experience difficulty getting a doctor that knows what he is doing, and as a result, their standard of care will suffer. Also, it takes time to get your protocol dialed in. It's a process that can take months. I'd be willing to wager that a lot of these guys just gave up on TRT, because of being treated with outdated or ineffective protocols (shots every two weeks, etc) that made them feel like crap. How many of these patient's doctors (PCPs) were monitoring sensitive E2 levels instead of the outdated plain Estradiol levels? None, I'll bet. Outdated and clueless. Please do. Dr. Saya and Dr. Crisler do post on these forums from time to time. Maybe you'll get lucky, and they'll comment on your labs/protocol. [/QUOTE]
