Another thought on the disclosure to Dr. issue

[zolte]

I have seen several posts re. the benefits/risks of informing your physician re. your use of AAS, etc.

Food for thought: If you are involved in a legal dispute your medical records may be ruled relevant to the matter.

Sometimes the monetary risk could be huge. For example, you have a disability or life insurance policy under your name. You or your beneficiaries collect. There is a dispute. Your medical records might be at issue.

Of course, the physician may refuse to comply with a subpoena, or you could file a motion to protect the information from disclosure, but it is the Court that has the final say as to what must be turned over.

Thanks.

does disclosing effect your medical insurance cost?

Probably a dumb question, but is there any problem with a verbal disclosure? That is assuming you can trust him not to write it down?
