They are F2s I notice ie real , though junior, doctors...the traditional hands-on and visual observation diagnosis without blood tests! Demonstrates that they do have more knowledge than the often quoted 'only did half an hour/ afternoon on Thyroid disease at med. school'!
My thyroid removed but i cant stick my tongue out and swallow my cynical response is they learned half of it from thyroid patient or a site like this not at med school, certainly none of the F2's iv done talks for have shown any of this knowledge. I think to be amusing and write a rhyme they used google for inspiration loI
have yet to meet an endo or dr who knows what pretibial myxoedema or achilles reflex connection in 2 years, x
Yes one endo and 2 drs actually refused to touch or look at my legs or other body parts that were just mucin, it is not fat it is peculiar to hypo people only, one of the ways it was diagnosed before tsh but then my not having a thyroid should have been a massive pointer IMHO x
They probably have no idea what mucin is! A previous GP gave me support socks....at that point I had no idea about mucin either! If the patients can learn why can't the medics....oh!, but we all know the answer to that one!
Or even looks at the patient. Rather they are transfixed by computer screen looking for the diagnosis. The last time I saw my GP I had bleeding between periods she just looked at her computer found out I don't drink or smoke and told me I'm ok. Those computers are pure magic. I want one too.
I didn't really understand the part with the stethoscope. Can you by listening at the thyroid hear an inflammation or how should I interpret that sentence?
I made a translation to Swedish now but then I realized that I might need permission to both translate and post it for my blog. I wrote to RCP and asked them for permission. Bah, it took me like two days
If you get a Yes! (hope you do), then please post here. We might not get many who can read Swedish but that doesn't matter. Even one extra falling across it would be welcome.
I got the permission to translate and publish my translation from the RCP today with a statment of permission and declaration that RCP is not responsible that the translation is correct. I'm happy!
