Thyroid Disease: 10 Thyroid Mistakes Your Doctor Maybe Making

I chose this article becausae it discussed alot of topics that we have covered in our previous chapters. I found it very interesting to know that most doctors that don't know how to treat a patient with a certain disease will tell them a lie. For example, number 8 states that a pateint should never let a physician tell them that they only prescribe a certain type of drug. If you have that type of doctor then its best you change physician because that physicisn isn't educated enough about your condition. This article also deals with physicians not educating the patient enough on how to take a prescribtion which results in a possible medical error and because of that the patient can suffer from a adverse drug reaction. This article also touches on how certain doctors thing they know what's wrong with the patient instead of hearing the patient side and I find that very interesting becauset he whole point is for the doctor to listen to the patient and together come up with a treatment plan. Another interesting fact is that scares me is how doctors don't perform all the test they need on a patient symptoms to come up with a diagnosis. That scary because their are people who sick and know they are sick and being mistreated due to misdiagnosis because physician arrogrance.
