So your justification is what? The patient didn't step on a scale in front of a disinterested staffer?

He said he did a telehealth visit and prescribes hormone therapy, not I do a telehealth visit to see if this is a needed or viable treatment. Dude is hopping on a call as a formality and writing people scripts. Legal drug dealing

I get your argument. But wouldn’t “legal drug dealing” be all of modern medicine?

No it’s part of the job. Not a formality. I do get where you’re coming from. And yes someone could lie and tell me they aren’t overweight or obese and just want the meds. And you’re right I guess I truly do not know their body habitus or BMI over the phone. But if someone has been following my posts in these threads and seeks out my help and sets up the tele visit and pays out of pocket for a medicine, that isn’t exactly cheap, looking to lose some weight and improve their overall health, then why would you be against it?

Because you just said yourself you aren’t doing any diligence before putting someone on hormone therapy, it’s pretty simple. It’s malpractice in my opinion and if it were me, I wouldn’t put on paper on the internet what you just said

How is it any different than those commercials for Hims with viagra or finasteride? They never meet the patients either. Hell I think they just have to go online and click some boxes and it shows up at their door.
And I am doing a good deal of due diligence. I educate every patient on the contraindications, negative side effects, when to expect weight lose, dietary changes, etc.

Without getting into the details of this instance
Telemedicine is a very good and much needed thing. Going to a physical office is overkill for most appointments. I have done a few where I had to be on video and provide a copy of my license in the initial setup.
Doctors are by law are legal drug dealers, it is like their job man
If someone is going to go down the GLP-1 path, it is better for them to go this route than the peptide sites. Get a legal prescription and have interaction with a medical staff in case needed. Jose's place can even order blood work done remotely and sent to them.
There is not a lot of work to be done with the GLP-1s it appears, they are safe with the exception of your poops are going to change, lol. 30% of the country seems to be on them and there are not mass deaths happening or hospitilizations.

We’ll see. I suspect it won’t make that much of a difference because these people are still unhealthy or won’t do the drugs forever and get fat again.
This isn’t a solution, it’s just a bandaid

For some people I would agree.
For some it just the jump start they need for sustainable weight loss.
For example, I prescribe it all the time. I gained some weight after my daughter was born and got it prescribed for myself and lost over 30lbs and have kept it off since August without any medicines. I just need a little bit of help. And I’m happy to facilitate that for others.

I have a appointment in about two weeks to discuss the question I am about to ask, but curious on your thoughts. A little background. I have been on it since mid May and started at 268.2 lbs at 6'-5". I started walking when I got on it and then running as the weight came off. Diet is much cleaner now and I am running 4-5 days a week. This morning I weighed in at 216.5. I said when I hit 215 I wanted to get off of it and insurance is going to make it extremely expensive to get it starting next month. My question is, what is the best route to end using it? Slowly reduce dosage over the next 2-3 months or just stop taking once my current supply is used? If I just stop taking it, is it just going to be willpower to deal with any returning cravings? I was out of control before getting on it and it did a lot, but I don't like the idea of being medicated forever.

So for myself personally I stopped cold turkey. I just tried to practice the habits I had re-learned while on the medicine.
Some folks like to wean off of the medicine and stretch their injection days from 7 to maybe every 8 or 9 days. No problem with doing that route only that the half life is 6 days and there will be however many days until your next dose that there isn't any in your system, so then you use those days to make sure to practice the new habits.
Or you can lessen your dose over time, but that route still gives you medicine daily, and I rather not do that while coming off.
Congrats on the weight loss
