Blindly following a random doc? So you don't think he would have seen a specialist after the accident? Sorry man I would follow the advice of someone who has been through medical school over a random guy in a forum.
If those are your only two choices, then yeah. But we can do way better than that.
I've only spoken to two docs about my T needs and gear use and both were pretty clueless on the subject. My PCP freaked out at my 200mg/wk dosing, completely freaked out, completely clueless of what the real benefits and risks were. So yeah, blindly following doc advice is bad advice. Do better. There are tons of other stories in these forums of folks looking to start TRT and dealing with terrible docs without a clue, wasting their time and money and dragging them onward through a crappy quality of life. I saw no point in repeating those mistakes so I'll continue using the advice of the vets in these forums to chart my own gear course.
Another example: I've been dealing with acne for 35 years. Yep, never left the shitty part of adolescence. Been to a few dozen derms in that time, been on a dozen courses of Accutane, spent years using countless hundreds of tubes of Retin-A, erythromycin, bottles of doxycycline, minocycline, bactrim, tetracycline, and maybe a dozen other meds usually no better than placebos, so I like to think I know something about this condition at this point. I can say from experience that
half of dermatologists themselves are shit when it comes to treating moderate or worse acne. They became derms to cure skin cancer, not treat whiny zitty teenagers (or worse, whiny zitty adults) so I feel their pain but I also see their gross incompetence. We'd all be smart to treat doctors as ordinary people capable of being either good or garbage at their jobs... just keep your eyes open and brain humming.
For what it's worth, my dad's a retired doc so I don't despise or disrespect them, but I also know they aren't gods. No one should blindly follow a random doc's opinion on anything.
