What I would suggest is keeping it uninsulting, honest, brief and to the point, including a short and to the point personal experience.
The purpose of the letter:
To show something seriously needs to be done.
To show guys suffering from hypogonadism are being left untreated and with a very poor doctor-patient relationship.
To show the symptoms hypogonadism are terrible and arnt just "lack of energy" and what is documented(because the documentaion makes it sound like its something you can just put up with.)
To show current lab ranges are not normal ranges.
To show the current standard protocols for
TRT is unacceptable.
To discourage the stigma on testosterone used in medicine(powerfull hormone it is, but its a naturaly found chemical). It does not cause prostate and breast cancer! too many doctors believe this.
Anything else you feel is appropriate. Be particular about what you say and how you word it, best way to do this is to expect everything you write to be taken literally, this avoids misinterpritation.
Obviously use paragraphs punctuation, spell check, your writing to doctors not FHM.
Dont send it straight away, go over it afew times, wait a day, and go over it again on a diffrent day.
Ask yourself:
1. Is this infomation accurate.
2. Do I sound like I will be taken seriously.
3. Have I dragged this on for too long? does the length surpass the content, if so, what can I edit or take out?
4. Would I be bothered reading this if this was sent to me?
5. Do I apear respectful and not emotionally influenced?
6. Do I sound too educated? (doctors can interpret education in a layman as a reason to question sincerity and credability, you dont want to apear as a hypocondriac, or someone who is trying to undermime a doctors inteligence. Doctors are quick to question any infomation regardless of source, unless it is from a doctor they can look up to. ie: a professor)
Example:
Incorrect "Clinical studies published by [some medical journal] have demonstrated...[medical speak]"
Correct "Based on what I have learned on my condition I believe ...[formal layman communication]"
7. Have I been too blunt?
Example: "my endocrinologist knows nothing regarding the use of HCG in male
TRT"
proper example "It seems my Endocrinologist is not completely informed of the potential benefits of HCG in male
TRT"
Finally. Have I used correct spelling, grammar, punctuation, and words in there correct context.
If in doubt its better to have a fact come across as uncertenty then try push something you are uncertain about as a fact(without sounding like you dont know what your talking about). And its better to include too little infomation then too much infomation(without raising too many questions).
