It was likely the article that convinced him, not me. Or possibly visions of malpractice when faced with the info in the article. I am just happy he even took a look at it.

He is a product of the educational system of India (quite British...). I have tried to like him but just cannot warm to him.

By the way, I also called Amgen. The customer service person kept repeating that Prolia is completely out of my body in 18 months after discontinuing. I finally said that is not responsive to my question. The bottom line communicated to me by Amgen was that it sees no problem with stopping Prolia cold turkey. It is no wonder therefore that this is not raised by the doctor when discussing Prolia.

Sometimes I wonder about how doctors stay current with professional development. I would like to think there is a healthy questioning about any Pharma marketing efforts.

My doctor seems to practice according to how insurance will respond. I find this very discouraging. I want a doctor (and have often had this until I moved a few years ago) who discusses with me best approaches and if I agree and insurance does not, I will then try to convince the insurance folks.

Yes, I think it is time to find another doctor. Again, easier said than done.
