Hi!. Do some research, there are doctors that specialize in treating Thyroid disease!. I just found out a month ago that i had Hypothyroidism, but it wasn't until i went to a Thyroid specialist because the other doctors i went to couldn't figure out what was wrong with me!. Endocrinologists are good also!. All you need is a simple blood test to diagnose a Thyroid problem, but it helps when the doctor is knowledgeable about the disease!. I was put on medication right away, and i'm doing 100% better already!. Good Luck :-)Www@Answer-Health@Com

Does your doctor see him or herself as an expert whose advice should be unquestionably followed, or does your doctor work as a partner or teacher!? Does your doctor view the role of a physician as teacher, or perhaps even as your "employee!?" Is the doctor's allegiance to you -- the patient -- or to an HMO employer who signs the paycheck!?

Let's take a look at some of the different styles you may encounter in physicians, and what they mean for you!.
