Advice needed

[cavemuscle]

Seems a guy I was powerlifting with earlier this summer is an MD with one of the larger corporate hospitals. one session I had forgotten my knee socks and had scraped up one leg pretty bad. He looked at it and mentioned said it should heal pretty quickly. I remarked that since being on HRT everything healed faster. He starts asking more questions. I knowing he's a doc answer.

The next week I find out he has told all the other powerlifters that i'm on testim tansdermal and I find out I'm to use a seperate bar and rack from now on. He's told them they could pick up some of my hrt thru sweat I leave on things and that it could scew drug tests.

After fuming a few weeks I asked the assistant general counsel if this was a violation of HIPAA. he researched it abd agreed the minute he started asking direct questions he was acting as a doctor, so yes it was . He emailed me links to the federal forms to fill out.

So do I go thru with lodging Federal and state complaints? It could make my hrt and any future gear use a public matter.

Pick up some of your HRT through your sweat? Well I don't know about that but I think he's probably more concerned about coming in contact with areas of your skin that may have gel on them (hands, etc.). However rediculous, it's still a valid concern and you offered the information without him asking and you were not in his care at the time you told him.

I think he's probably just a bit too paranoid and is scared that some of that gel may find it's way from your body onto his body or that of a pregnant woman or child (but mostly worried about himself). Women (especially if they are pregnant) and children would be most at risk of side effects from coming into contact with the gel.

What I would do is tell your own doctor about this, and what happened, and see if he'll prescribe something injectable instead after what happened.

I agree.....even though he was an ass for doing what he did, dont drag his and your name through the mud for this. I would just let him know that he did indeed violate the HIPPA laws and that you dont appreciate it. Just my opinion.

I agree with Main 100%... I use the (generic) Testim transdermal and the only way anyone else could be affected is if they come in contact with your skin where it was applied immediately after (or soon after) application. Through your sweat? That doctor (wannabe) is a DUMBASS!!! So if I touch a sweaty woman my estrogen levels will rise? I think you need to take him the Testim gel insert from your script and tell him to educate himself before spreading his ignorant baloney.

What he did was totally unethical!!!!

Sue him for malpractice...if he's a doctor and was asking your personal info and then told other's that is violation of dr patient confidentiality

Here is what I would do,

Wait for him out in the parking lot with a roll of nickels in your dominant hand. Share your feelings as generously as he did.

No, that's probably BAD advice! lol. But I am sure you'd feel better....temporarily.

thanks guys!

Well I'm going to tell my doc and see what he suggests. Personally I never felt really comfortable lifting with that group and I'm sure I can find new lifting buds to train with.

Someone rimided me that it's just not me that would be affected it it went to court. My job, my family could all be dragged in. Not worth it.

thanks ladies and gents!

He's a jerk of a person and a jerk of a DR. Don't waste time and negitive energy on this A-hole.

Walk away from him and don't look back. Retribution is negitive energy and fouls the mind.

btw...I have a hard time letting go as I am one angry b*tch, but with practice it works and you look forward not backwards.
