Huh. My endocrinologist just called. This is how that phone conversation went: Dr: “Hello, I wanted to check and see how you are doing today.” Me: “Um, I’m fine. I think that things are going well with the Synthroid.” Dr: “That’s good. You had two biopsies, right?” Me: “Um…yes…” Dr: “And we told you that [...]
