I once had an argument with my doc that he could prescribe me a pill or concoction to make me lose weight, quit smoking, lower my chol, lower my blood pressure, and make me happy. But he wouldn't give me anything to put on 20lbs of muscle in 6 weeks as that is unethical. Say HUH?
When I hurt my shoulder a while back they told me to quit lifting so heavy. I told him "ok yeah yeah just shoot the cortisone and let's call it a day". If I could get it myself I wouldn't even need to go see these guys.
Better living through chemistry!
Had my neck operated on a while back (thyroid) and they told me I'd get fat, I'd be tired, and blah blah blah for the next 8 weeks.
I had surgery on a Monday, 1 week later I was at the gym lifting. I was actually in the best shape ever during that time. Never missed a workout. I guess my metabolism slowing a bit allowed me to put on size more easily. I could walk by weights at the gym and put on size. Got up to 178lbs and 10% BF when that happened. I watched my diet close though and ate lots of protein when I realized what was happening.
I miss those days, well except for going 6 days at a time without sleeping haha. Funny how much the thyroid controls.

I normally take what doctors say with a grain of salt. When I was in my early 20,s I was in a serious motorcycle accident. My left foot was almost completely detached, they wanted to take it off but my dad argued with them and now look, I have some limitations but none most would ever know. Normally I would say there is nothing wrong with me, two things that are a problem are if I'm working on my back and get up fast I get dizzy and nauseous, same thing when I do hyperextensions, been like this as long as I can remember, the thing is when I went to the emergency room I got up normal from a chair and got a bit dizzy again sometimes norml but this time I went out like a light and was screwed up for several hours. They did every test you can think of and other than their original mis-diagnosis they have come up with nothing.
