What do you tell your Doctor

[Gt3294a]

Assuming you go in for regular check ups and get blood work done. Do you tell him what you're taking? Do you keep it a secret?

I've also read you shouldn't hid anything from your doctor but when I told him I like to have a smoke every once in a while I got charged a smoking cessation consultation. And put on my chart which could affect any life insurance policy. Keep in mind I smoke at deer camp and when every once in a while when I would go out and drink.

So do you tell them or not.

My regular doctor is kind of a dick about it. So I use a remote doctor for blood work when I need a test and my numbers will be off. Then I make sure when I get my yearly blood work from regular doctor that I’m cruising and numbers are fine. It’s a pain in the ass. But at least I found a way to get regular blood work and no judgement from another doctor this way. And the no judgment is really nice.

It's probably a different discussion to be had with Different doctors. General Practitioner vs Surgeon. GP for healthcare consultation guidance, referrals , Surgeon / Anesthesiologist would be more specific discussion regarding focused surgery.

I told mine he had lots of questions. And while he can’t “condone” it…. All my blood work is great and I’ve dropped about 50% of my body weight so he doesn’t have a problem with it.

Usually the best policy.
