Definitive Guide to Thyroid

As an idividual familiar with the field, I think The Thyroid Guide is a must read for anyone faced with thyroid disease or thyroid surgery. Many people are hesitant to confront health issues that may be related to the thyroid, but this guide walks you through the steps from diagnosis to treatment. It contains all the questions a patient should ask his/her physician. It explores the different techniques used in dealing with thyroid surgery in an unbiased manner. I feel that these two surgeons have dealt with all the issues facing patients dealing with thyroid cancer, disease, and surgery fully in writing this book.

everything you ever wanted to know about thyroids

A clear and easy to read book that takes the mystery of medical jargon away. Detailed information on all aspects of thyroid and thyroid disease and treatment options. Definitely an "everything that you wanted to know" book.
