Absolutely - people hold far too much regard for Medical doctors - GP’s particularly… they think that it is an exact science and the years of training and the pay packet is some way to prove their accuracy in the field.
It is most often an educated guess followed by trial and error… and a court case.
Try to explain to your wife that you self administer/prescribe testosterone… she says “go to the doctor, it would make me feel more safe”
Not me.
Bi-weekly injections of a Cyp ester? And when my libido took a nose dive at the end of the first week she would be singing another song!
I have respect for many medical professions - and of course we need GP’s and they do have an important role… except i hate the job. They are often ignorant, arrogant, lazy and set in their ways after so many flu like symptoms and sprains… it sends them mad i think - so all they can prescribe is Sildenafil, NSAID’s and SSRI’s!
Some GP’s are great. I just havent met one. I had a friend who was a GP… he used coke very heavily… he wouldnt touch a benzo though due to his professional upbringing, and he believed that the most effective and safest way to lose weight was to eat a single, large meal a day.
He was a fucking cunt. Still is i’m sure. Also 5’6" and about 120lbs tops.

Brook, cant agree with you more, We have to remember that all medical professionals are people too and are prone to the same faults as the rest of us. But for some reason we hold them as something other than human…which is a mistake.
Thing is, and you make thus point yourself, 90% of the patients a GP will see are likely to have minor ailments, depression, etc etc with which they have the expertise and experience to deal with quite effectively.
I was able to convince my endo that frequent test, self administered, opposed to nebido or a transdermal would be optimal for me. I very much doubt that he would have let any of his other patients self administer though.
The thing that people often forget too is that GPs have targets and budgets to adhere to and often treatments and procedures that are administered may not be optimal, they get the job done, at a reasonable cost.
