Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

I had the same thing except from an in-clinic consult about my general health.

Testosterone supplementing was presented like "Well levels vary to each man but some do a little better with more so it could help your endurance and energy levels."

Ok sure, why not? They're a doctor right? Trust experience? Trust science? All that?

I got a shot 2 or 3 times but then quit it. I'm so freaking glad I did, after I discovered all these accounts about it causing heart problems, possibly reproductive issues, and all this other crap. It was difficult to find someone who was actually glad they did it.

Happy with the hormone levels I've got, thank you very much.

I felt so scammed, like I was just used as some "lead" for another clinic to profit from me over something that potentially would cause a ton of long-term harm.
