Divergent opinions btw M.D.'s on HGH?

Question

How can 2 MD's, equal quals and experience, disagree on the value of Human Growth Hormone Therapy? Is it a question of lack of training, lack of post graduate study/reading? Lack of personal exposure? How can an ordinary individual make a determination about who is right and who is wrong (in this managed care environment and patient empowerment) , and how can an individual, who simply asks a physician, find himself subject to ridicule or even threat of discontinuation of care, and have to witness derogatory comments about so-called colleagues? And, how can some MD's deny the results of HGH even when "subjected" to documentation of positive results. And, finally, how can 1 or more MD's take the risk of a patients life when there is no personal evidence but rumour based on "coffee clatch conversation" , or legitimate papers of any negative side effects?

Answer 1

you have access to the internet so feel free to search what your specific question is, otherwise you could ask the specific MD peds or adult endocrinologist for the question and not just any MD, thirdly opinion is opinion two MD's can certainly have different opinions since research data only suggests in most of the cases, it is the doctors decision to make the move or not. Things as simple as "an aspirin a day saves heart disease" are not universal, MD can vary there recommendations based on the patient profile. I can understand the frustration when you seek a second opinion for satisfaction and get a whole different answer instead, good luck
