Honestly i understand why they lie. Personally i wouldnt tell my dr or drs that i use aas UNLESS it was life threatening, or fairly serious medical issie. Over Christmas i got admiited to the hospital and diagnosed with a gene disorder called hyopkalemic periodic paralysis. While in there i told them i was talking self prescribed metformin. One of the drs just wouldnt let it go and kept getting upset about it and even lectured and talked to me about metformin for 20mins lol. Unfortunately its drs like this one that make people like myself hesitant to tell them what we are on.
Just assume all patients are lying (or not telling the whole truth/story) until proven otherwise. It's unfortunate but that's real world medicine.
