New Endocrinologist

Yeah, the attitude you describe I've mostly noticed in male doctors. I would call it "dismissive" -- they dismiss your opinion on your own body without really exploring/considering what you are saying.

Dismissive, arrogant, ignorent even. I agree with whoever suggested if you don't like the one you have get a new one. I've seen a number of doctors and all but the last were just a horror to visit.

Anxiety is notorious for raising one's pulse, and a first visit to a new doctor is a reasonable occasion for anxiety.

Update: I left a message with my good looking female Pakistani doctor telling her I needed to talk with her about my visit to the endocrinologist, Dr. Ono. She called me late Thursday afternoon. I told her about my visit, that I was not happy about it and I told her that I did not agree with Dr. Ono, who told me she would not prescribe "compounded testosterone." (Compounded is a lot cheaper, which is why I want to use it). Again, my last blood test for "testosterone" showed my "t" level at only 150. My doctor told me that she would talk with the pharmacist about increasing the strength. She was sympathetic, caring, understanding, she has been excellent. So I'll find out Monday what the new strength might be. This could be good or bad. I don't want a very high testosterone level and I don't want the new strength to have the adverse affects that cause me to be sexually active.

My regular physician did contact the pharmacist and he compounded another prescription of testosterone using a different more penetrating base. It seems thinner in texture and somewhat greasy, but it does seems to penetrate the skin better and faster. We'll see how this works. What's interesting is that I can tell when my "t" levels are dropping. I can feel the difference and though I have not had any "hot flashes" I seem to feel as if something is escaping from my body. I still get a pain in my right side and my doc will address this on June 27th when I see her again.

Interesting memory. Last time I saw her it was two months post castration and she asked if she could see how things were healing. Instead of leaving, she just watched as I dropped my drawers. Then I laid down, propping myself up a little as she inspected my empty scrotum. But the first thing she did was move my penis out of the way by pushing it with my old frenum piercing, which I've left in. I didn't think much about it at the time but I wonder why she did that? It was not anything sexaully exciting for me, but if she asks to see things again this time, I'll be suspicious. Is it a turn on? Hash
