You seriously thinking you're going to accidentally get so big that your patients fear you?

When did I say that? No I don't know what it is, but my parents keep telling me that I shouldn't get any bigger and stuff, I don't know why

I personally don't think it matters. Doctors come in all shapes and sizes. Provided you're still a good person with decent communication skills, respect for the patient and the relevant knowledge, I don't think people will mind! Be prepared for a great deal of affection from old grannies and the Orthopaedic team attempting to recruit you as one of the 'lads'.

Also, a lot of being a clinical student is getting out of the way of the people you're following around like a desperately loyal puppy and crushing yourself in to join the other 8 people behind a curtain designed really to hold a single relative. Being agile, nimble and able to crush yourself into small spaces is a genuine advantage.

Maybe so, but I am never going to touch gear/juice/steroids, whatever you want to call it.
Supplements, creatine, that's it for me, natural.
out of curiosity, anybody considered using steroids?


Natural? Creatine is practically a steroid though. :confused:

It's not exactly uncommon for medics to lift... I lift (slowed down last semester though but picking it up again now). And I can't see any reason why it would hinder your competence as a doctor.
Prescribe yourself / other medics steroids :lol:
But no don't do that even though I know you want to :colone: Just pump some iron twice/ more a week and eat clean so your parents don't think your some crazy guy.

The term steroids is so nasty, go with prescribed TRT :wink:

I don't think it's a good idea. As evidenced in this forum, bodybuilding warps the mind and develops severe body dysmorphia. You can just imagine someone going to a 'bodybuilding' doctor and getting **** like "OMG look at ur traps, DYEL BRAH lol!?". Very bad idea.


I think all doctors should stop treating people who don't lift.
