Testoserone levels are often measured in men who are having ED...

not too many other reasons to have this blood test done (perhaps in a fertility work-up, or when looking for causes of osteoporosis). Just sayin'

(and yes, I'm a doctor)

You don't order a testosterone level unless there's a reason. My doctor husband and I (also an MD) were just remarking on that.

The last thing on earth I want to muse about is whether "The Donald" can get a boner. I doubt anything in that letter was real. It was just another record bought and paid for like the Bornstein letter. Someone pointed out that his height has always been given as 6'2". In this report it's listed as 6"3". If it had been 6"2" he would be called "obese" based on his weight. At 6"3" he's only "overweight."
