Is HGH administered intamusculary or intravenously? Once administered, does it equally affect all parts of the body? For ex. (equal increase in torso and legs.) What are some other effects of hgh besides increase in height? Legally, under what circumstances may a doctor prescribe HGH to a patient? It is my understanding that HGH may be prescribed to a patient who is "short." Why can't a tall person, or anyone for that matter be prescribed HGH? Often short people, who are not even gh deficient, are prescribed HGH. But for what reason, so they can feel more fit into society's standards? Why do doctors feel its necessary to physically treat a psycholigical problem, such as short man's syndrome? Why can't people of average height be offered HGH, and get the same benefits (other than height increase) that short people do <who are not even gh deficient...>
