60 Minutes

I think this is incorrect. I read a post a while back where someone claiming to be a doctor said he regularly injected 10cc of air into a vein to check for a certain heart problems. I pretty sure i've read this similiar practice in other articles and posts. I don't plan on testing this out anytime soon though. I wouldn't want to inject anything into a vein. Aspirate !

Actually one of our members Geogarff was a cardiac profusionist, often he would inject 3ccs of air into an artery to check problems associated with the heart!

This is a sad story though!
It reminds me of my best friend that killed himself a little over a year ago.

boy i'm sorry JLAW. that must have been so hard on you.

i saw this story and i gotta admit if i was a little less educated i would have seen roids as totally evil. the media needs a good hook to sell a story, even 60 minutes, and AAS make a great villian.

it was sad to see the parents dealing with the grief of losing their beloved son, but there was a lot 60 minutes could not possibly know about this kid. how do we know this kid did not suffer from depression BEFORE he starting using (obviously, by his sides) test? could these parents have had their heads in the sand all along? they saw their kid as the perfect little high school baseball star. maybe he was just an unhappy kid with a dad that pressured him into producing on the field. who knows.

post cycle depression can be pretty bad for some due to other factors in their lives... you can never really blame one thing

I saw the report on 60 minutes and what basically happened was, the kid was a head case, under all the stress of being a teen, etc. and roiding and raging, so his parents sent him to a psychologist. So this stupid bitch diagnoses depression, and tells him to quit the AAS immediately, and starts him on lexipro. So the guy got no decent PCT and was put on brain medicine to counter the pre-existing depression, and then the post-cycle crash. Shortly thereafter he committed suicide. So naturally the psychologist when interviewed by 60 minutes laid the blame directly on the steroids.

Thus we see the effect of demonization of steriods, medical professionals do not know how to handle these situations when they arise. Ignorance on everyone's part. Of course he should not have used them to begin with, but sadly the medical help brought in to help the kid, failed miserably. Why 60 minutes did not address this obvious point, well I guess this was not the agenda for the story.

I am still shaking my head at the "he wanted to be like his idols in MLB" angle they took. OMFG!!! This sickening coming from 60 minutes.
