[QUOTE="CoastWatcher, post: 103219, member: 2624"] As a Canadian, I am not in a position to address the issue of how American patients and their doctors address the confounding question of insurance coverage. I do know, and it has been commented on many times, that very little time is devoted to androgen issues in medical school, residency, or fellowship training in North America (and it seems that's the case in the rest of the world). Doctors don't know how to treat the hypogonadal patient, and aren't aware that they are so poorly trained. One can't rely on board specialty designation, on medical school affiliation, or any other external ratification. The men and women who know how to play this game could be certified in family practice, my doctor is, urology, internal medicine, or endocrinology. Take the typical doctor's lack of knowledge, combine it all too frequently with a level of arrogance many of us have encountered in the medical system, and mix in a societal fear of testosterone (it's a scary steroid)...you find a lot of men finding it next to impossible to obtain treatment.
