Interesting Thyroid Article

Post by MBombardier »

Why don't physicians simply ignore the guidelines? Although some have, the Supreme Court (Goldfarb, 1975) and a federal appeals court (Wilk, 1983) have ruled that enforced guidelines are effectively mandatory. Thus, physicians must choose between unethical patient suffering with the T4-only therapy OR prescribing T3 and risk losing their practices, claims Pritchard.

Thanks for that excellent article,
