You'll have to find a doctor who's complicit.

What are the chances of that? We all know physicians are all fine upstanding people with morals beyond reproach. Right?...

Anabolic steroids are Schedule III drugs, in the same category as barbiturates and opium. You're not going to "trick" the doctor into prescribing anabolic steroids. You'll have to find a doctor who's complicit.

I didn't mean to imply 'trick' at all. Complicity is a given. Nonetheless, saying the right things at the Dr's office in order to obtain these meds is necessary, as well.

I worked ER and I saw people come in that said the right things, presented with the right symptoms and left with the drugs they wanted. It's true to say that, after so many rounds of this, they were watched carefully and the physician's response to them changed; nonetheless, the got what they wanted initially. I can easily see a similar mechanism at work obtaining other drugs from a practitioner.

How do you know when someone is truly in pain? It can be a hard call. Physicians would like to err on the side of helping tha patient, but now must take on an LEO role as well--erring on the side of not medicating when there's a chance it's for illegal resale.

Tough situation.

There are practical reason sfor taking steroids, but none have to do with sports performance. If you go get tested and they find that your testosterone levels are low they can prescribe them to bring your levels back up. Testerone levels start to drop after age 30 and this is when you could go get checked and see if it is an option. Their use can be good, but can also be extremely bad. It is all in how and why you use them

There was a show on the other night called "The Man Whose Arms Exploded". It was about body building, steroid use, and the consequences of steroid use. It was gross.

I saw this too, Pam. His arms were deformed looking and not at all attractive.

Yeah. He got this huge hematoma in his bicep...it was disgusting. So he videotaped himself trying to drain it. He's plunging a hypodermic needle into his arm, like to the hilt, and drained like 2 cups of blood before going to the ER. PLUS, just the way his arms looked was a real turn off. Yuck. I don't get it...steroid use. Plus, these guys who have used it are now having heart attacks and stuff because of it. And they're still young. Sad.
