Any physician may submit a question regarding a thyroid patient to ldegroot@earthlink.net and one of our panel of expert thyroidologists will attempt to provide an answer as soon as possible by return Email. Physicians should provide adequate clinical information about the problem, and provide their name, office address, and telephone number. We will send an answer by Email to the address provided, and will publish the question and the response on this page. The name of the questioning physician WILL be published unless specific instruction not to do so is provided in the original Email. This service is available only to physicians.
Please note that Thyroidologists who hold opinions that differ from the advice we have offered are welcome to send in responses, and we will publish these comments. Commentators should kindly include name, office address, and Email address.
We attempt to answer important questions from readers, if time permits, and publish those of value to other readers in this column. Please send questions to Dr John Lazarus lazarus@cardiff.ac.uk
