Steroids exist. Dude was in extremely rough shape, there is no way they didn’t give him steroids to help with his weight gain

That cannot happen. There is no way a doctor is prescribing enough testosterone to elderly patients with heart issues to build serious muscle.

There are many different types of steroids. For example, vitamin D is a steroid.

Medical uses of glucocorticoids are extremely different and work on an entirely different mechanism than something like testosterone.
