That clause has to mean that you wouldn't simultaneously receive TRT from elsewhere. It would be extremely unreasonable to deny you other avenues of treatment. But in the worst case you would need to find a new PCP, which would surely nullify the agreement. However, I'm no lawyer, so if you want to be completely sure then you should consult one.

1 shot of test a month

One shot of test ______ per month? What is he using on his patients?

else,what to do?

Find another medical provider for hormone therapy. Seriously, what's up with the form? Legal requirement, state law? Did you ask?

Thank you I will, I will also look for another PCP.

What could he possibly do, sue you? What would he sue for? What are his damages? I'm not a lawyer either, but I'd bet the ranch there is nothing your doctor can do.

Some sort of strange CYA form on the part of the Doc.

Doctor shopping already comes with its own federal and state issues.

That is a pretty common form in my experience. Even Defy has you sign one. It probably covers their a**es in case someone abuses TRT and law enforcement investigates the clinic. I wouldn’t fret - just sign it.

However it does sound like you need better treatment advice. Try a TRT clinic (I really like Defy) or a urologist.

Hmm, don't remember Defy asking me to sign one. But it has been a while. Interesting.
