mayblin,
Not offended. The problem that I face- and others face - is that Dr McCormick knows more than our doctors. I see an endocrinologist and a rheumatologist. Neither had heard of McCormick. Neither was interested. When I asked them questions that were generated by McCormick’s book, they were challenged.
Without his books, I would be navigating this disease blind. Just accepting whatever my under educated doctors tell me.

Agreed. I have learned a lot from his books and used some of the research articles he cites about med sequencing in my insurance appeal.

I was simply stating a fact, and am glad you understood.

No doubt McCormick book is very valuable and worth every penny. He pulled and presented vast information together. The book is a good investment of our money.

Too bad many doctors nowadays are too “busy” to spend quality time with each patient. But the best doctors I’ve encounted so far, spend a lot of time listening and discussimg with me without rushing. It is just very hard to find them. Good endocrinologists are far and between. If you could find an endo do 100% bone consulting you are in luck. If you find one who does or did real bone research and still seeing patients, you hit a mini jackpot. For most of us, I think finding one endo who has treated sufficient op patients and who keeps up with most recent treatment/management trends, is already good enough.

This forum is so rich of info and it’s free! I regret joining too late.

Same here! Without doctor McCormick's book, Great Bones, and the interviews he's given on YouTube, I would have stuggled to understand much about osteoporosis and how to treat it. He explains things simply and thoroughly.
The specialist I saw when I was first diagnosed just ordered the book. He's an old-school orthopedic surgeon who, until recently thought that Prolia was the go-to drug for treating OP. He also thought it couldn't be reversed. Fortunately, he's passionate about learning more, so yesterday, I loaned him my copy. Early this morning, he called me to say that he's was blown away by it, so he got straight onto Amazon and ordered a copy of his own.
I can't wait to talk about the book at my next appointment with him.
