I'd have much more confidence in what this board says any day than a dr unless its very specific. If I had a heart attack, sure im gonna listen to my doc, but stuff like what antiE to take, what to take to lower bp/lipids, what to use for erectile dysfunction,etc... i'd listen to this board(mass responses) over a dr. anyday for 2 reasons.
1.) Dr's dont know everything. In the endo world they are aweful. Most have no clue how to properly prescribe testosterone,etc... You go in with low test they tell you to try something and come back in 6months. 6MONTHS!!! Thats nuts. They are overworked and overcrowded. They dont take the patients personal life into respect
2.) They are pushed to sell many things you dont need. They even push chemo on patients who dont need it. I was told this directly by family friend who's a dr. Its sickening.
