Petition to demand better care by endocrinologists

I'm sure that lots of you would have seen and signed this petition but thought it might be useful if you haven't. "Each signature on this petition represents a patient, or a person who loves a patient who has been misdiagnosed, mistreated or dismissed by their endocrinologist".

I thought that we all fall into this category 😊

Just a quick query, is this aimed at USA patients or Uk ones and will it go before the UK Govt. if a certain number of signatures are reached?

Hi knitwitty,

I was wondering the same. There was a similar one about prescribing T3 recently. I couldn't find anything on change.org that they do petition parliament after the necessary numbers are reached.

It appears to be wanting to improve care internationally. I hope that signing these petitions at least raises awareness, but yes, are they seen by anyone who is prominent enough to make the changes?

This petition was started 6 years ago by Thyroid Change with the intention of putting it to endocrinologists worldwide.For the full list click on the link "39 others" underneath the picture.

Perhaps I am being as thick as two plank ends but I will ask anyway. WHERE EXACTLY DO YOU SIGN? I have scoured the article but do not see a "Sign Petition" anywhere although I see the ticker at the top right clicking up towards 50,000 every second. I am happy to sign but let me know how.

That's a pain. Maybe if you google is separately, it will come up in a more user friendly form. I had problems trying to copy and paste on my tablet last night, was doing my swede in until my husband came to my rescue 😉

One version I tried to save showed my name and town so ideally didn't want that version to be copied.

I think the petition might be closed - the last comments on it were made 6 years ago.

When I googled it separately, it mentioned others signing only hours before so hopefully it is still a "live" petition.
