Agree but I also think that most doctors, including specialists, who claim to treat osteoporosis don’t really do anything except read the radiologist’s summary on a patient’s DEXA, meaning the doctors don’t even bother to look at the full DEXA report, and based on T-scores alone push meds. They aren’t treating anything and they don’t bother to understand the disease or the patient’s particular needs.

I wish the government and my insurance would let me order my own labs and meds. Note, I prefer not to take meds so meds would only be ordered, by me, when absolutely necessary.
