[QUOTE="DragonBits, post: 103327, member: 18023"] I money drives most decisions. The doctors / clinics that don't take insurance tend to prescribe testosterone, while most doctors operate under guide lines that are issued by the CDC, urology etc. And it appears those guide lines are strongly influenced by big pharma and the health insurance industry. What I call the medical industrial complex. Two doctors I have gone to, my PCP and urologist both mentioned that without insurance testosterone would be very expensive, and my PCP also said that urologists tend to be approved more often. I am sure my PCP is knowledgeable about testosterone, at one time he was a bodybuilder and is in very good shape. I have no idea if he ever used testosterone, he tends to be a naturalist melding eastern and western therapies, both [COLOR=#545454][FONT=Roboto]conventional and alternative. [/FONT][/COLOR]I have asked this question to see what doctors would say about this, and the experience of other posters had with their own doctors. For sure, doctors in general don't consider making people healthier if they don't already have clear signed of disease. They find it easier to treat if you are already falling apart. Not just an issue with [COLOR=#333333]testosterone, I see it with other issues like knee replacement surgery. [/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
